*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1567237 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1567237
Marked this as duplicate of bug #1567237 (instead of the other way around) because I think that it would be probably easier to investigate the problem using the 3.19 series of kernels, because we know 2 consecutive kernel versions in that series, which first worked and second did not: 3.19.0-51 worked, then 3.19.0-58 did not. Also I think is better to focus firstly on the other bug because the other bug is higher importance and I thing that this is needed now, when both 3.19 and 4.2 series of kernels stopped working on my Laptop running Ubuntu 14.04. -- 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/1552333 Title: After upgrade to 4.2 kernel Ubuntu 14.04 LTS randomly freezes completely Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am not sure whether this is related to Xorg because of following: Today it happened a few times this complete freeze. Before today never happened. Today I did a normal system update in the morning, then a ditro upgrade which just upgraded a few unimportant packages, then the first freeze happened. Later I upgraded the kernel from 3.19.0 to 4.2.0 and after that a few more freezes happened. I attached the apt log generated today and including the last update yesterday: apt_log_for_day_with_upgrade_to_kernel4.2.log. Each time this happened, before freeze I saw in the log something like: 9492 Mar 2 14:00:08 my-ubunty kernel: [ 2514.659171] [drm] HPD interrupt storm detected on connector HDMI-A-1: switching from hotplug detection to polling And once or twice I saw right after that something like: 9493 Mar 2 14:01:13 my-ubuntu compiz: pam_ecryptfs: seteuid error Then some binary content I also use disk encryption (the one from Ubuntu). Each time the freezing happened, the mouse and keyboard weer dead and the screen was frozen in whatever content was displaying at that point. So the only think I could do is to press the power button for 5 seconds. I upgraded from 3.19 kernel (linux-generic-lts-vivid) as follows: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily Thank you.
