Teunis Peters, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-0902 needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899511 Title: hard crash on ION2 graphics chipsets Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Symptom: During startup of (eg) gnome3 or (ew) unity, the system locks up hard. 'classic' mode on gnome3 works though. (unity still unusable, but I'm not sure it ever could be on this system) Probably cause: ION2 chipset - is Intel + nVidia chipset, the nVidia is not supposed to be called unless it is explicitely activated. Am guessing the application is attempting to make calls on non-operational nvidia. (note: crashes FAR worse if neuveaux driver present, causing data loss) Primary driver is intel. Secondary (nvidia) operates within a memory window - it's like the 3DfX driver back in the day. Computer and chipset both new. Purpose of dual chipset is that intel is low-power mode, nvidia kicks in for high-performance apps. (eg: NOT the desktop) --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
