New test result today seems to be a intel P-state related problem. I had reverted everything to their default state, with only the following changes in TLP settings: /etc/default/tlp # Set Intel P-state performance: 0..100 (%) # Limit the max/min P-state to control the power dissipation of the CPU. # Values are stated as a percentage of the available performance. # Requires an Intel Core i processor with intel_pstate driver. CPU_MIN_PERF_ON_AC=100 CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_AC=100 CPU_MIN_PERF_ON_BAT=100 CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_BAT=100 Now the machine never crashed no matter what tricked I played against it. This workaround seemed to work both under a normal Linux kernel and a realtime kernel. I guess the crash was triggered by flipping the P-state to save power. In the previous report I was using WebGL Aquarium to do the test, which has a rather linear stress. But later when I was using Krita, whose stresses on the CPU comes in spikes, the old workaround failed to work. When connecting to an external monitor, it also did not crash anyway but I guess it was using full power all the way because of the dualview requires that much power. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libdrm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535048 Title: i915 driver seems to cause system crash at random To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdrm/+bug/1535048/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
