You have been subscribed to a public bug: System with Intel 945GM freezes randomly
Somebody might say this is a duplicate of this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/Linux/+bug/355155/ but since I believe the other bug is a mix of at least 3 different bugs I start this one here *ONLY* for systems with an Intel graphics chip. With Jaunty $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 my *Gnome* desktop freezes randomly - I have *Compiz* activated. That did not occur with Intrepid. A *memtest* does not find any problems - it ran almost for 24 hours. During a freeze my mouse still moves so it's not a complete system freeze anyway. My laptop is a Lenovo X60s. The typical situation is (AFAIR) not related to Compiz' scale feature as I wrote in the other bug report before. All I can say for sure is that the last 5 times it happened was while I was watching a video with *gmplayer*. The video has these characteristics: $ file <that video> RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 624 x 352, 23.98 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz) At the same time I was surfing these two websites using firefox: www.spiegel.de www.amazona.de $ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org These sites contain flash and I have adobe's flash plug-in installed: $ dpkg -l | grep adobe ii adobe-flashplugin 10.0.22.87-2jaunty1 Adobe Flash Player plugin version 10 While the laptop is frozen I can't - leave X and switch to a real console (tty1) - press CAPS or NUM LOCK... - SSH on that machine During one of the last freezes I had a camera in grabbing range. I tried the key combo "alt-sysrq-k". It took about 30s and this happened: Screen is black with a thick blue stripe on the right side. See here http://pkqs.net/~cf/small-IMG_1303 . After pressing "alt-sysrq-k" several times this window appeared: "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" - also saying: "(EE) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on front buffer: rejected by kernel". See here http://pkqs.net/~cf/small-IMG_1304 . Then another window appears asking what to do. See here http://pkqs.net/~cf/small-IMG_1305 . I chose "Exit to console login". This put me on tty1 but totally screwed up - I wasn't able to type something blindly. See here http://pkqs.net/~cf/small-IMG_1307 . Going back to the console where gnome was running on showed this here http://pkqs.net/~cf/small-IMG_1308 . After pressing "ctrl-alt-backspace" my computer performed a shut down. After thinking a little about that line here: "(EE) intel(0): Failed to set tiling on front buffer: rejected by kernel" I remembered that I manually added some proposed lines to my xorg.conf that I read about in a Howto dealing with that Intel driver performance loss - see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" Option "EXAOptimizeMigration" "true" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" Option "Tiling" "true" EndSection I removed the lines dealing with "Tiling" and "MigrationHeuristic" but this morning I had another freeze.
