running ubuntu 13.04 up to date, left the machine for 30 minutes and screen lock is set to ON!, unlocked the screen then fired up totem to watch a movie , after a couple minutes the following message showed up : "Sorry, the program "gnome-shell" closed unexpectedly Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyse the problem and send a report to the developers." then, X was terminated and drop back to the login manager .. logged back in, and the same popup message appeared again , so my suspicion was that it might be an abnormal CPU usage thought it could be Chromium!, so i've switched to firefox opened the same webpages as it's showing on the following screen shot / http://imgur.com/KCrZGRj but the abnormal usage kept going back and forth between Xorg and Gnome shell reached %60 - 76 CPU usage ! ====================== sary@n1x:~$ lsb_release -rd; uname -a Description: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch) Release: 13.04 Linux n1x 3.8.0-16-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 1 19:52:57 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux sary@n1x:~$ sary@n1x:~$ free -t total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1017352 946348 71004 0 2292 129532 -/+ buffers/cache: 814524 202828 Swap: 2457596 613604 1843992 Total: 3474948 1559952 1914996 sary@n1x:~$ sary@n1x:~$ df / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 112829108 11551360 95539664 11% / sary@n1x:~$ sary@n1x:~$ echo $(cat /proc/meminfo | egrep '^(MemFree|Cached|Writeback):' | awk '{print $2}') - + p | dc 227540 sary@n1x:~$ grep ^VmSize /proc/$(pidof X)/status VmSize: 246576 kB sary@n1x:~$ sary@n1x:~$ apt-cache policy apport apport: Installed: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Candidate: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Version table: *** 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://sa.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status sary@n1x:~$ sary@n1x:~$ dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | grep nvidia ii nvidia-310-updates 310.44-0ubuntu1 amd64 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library ii nvidia-common 1:0.2.76 amd64 transitional package for ubuntu- drivers-common ii nvidia-settings-310 310.44-0ubuntu1 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.6.3.1-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-16.26-generic 3.8.5 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-16-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Apr 3 04:23:22 2013 DisplayManager: gdm GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.desktop.interface' b'clock-format' b"'12h'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-04-01 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-04-01 (1 days ago) --- ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-04-01 (12 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: nvidia-settings-310-updates 310.44-0ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-18.28-generic 3.8.6 Tags: gnome3-ppa third-party-packages raring Uname: Linux 3.8.0-18-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-04-01 (11 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo ** Affects: nvidia-drivers-ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-310-updates (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug apport-collected gnome3-ppa raring third-party-packages -- X freeze with nvidia-310-updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1163651 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-310-updates in Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
