Darxus, Have you tried the following, in order, exactly? Somehow, I doubt it because this actually works. 1. In Synaptic package manager, go to Linux, select the item that just says "Linux", this will download and install the latest stable Ubuntu kernel, which will install without reformatting your drive or killing your network connectivity (as is the case with the Rogers' patch, not being fully implemented for Ubuntu, no I do not want to re-compile the rt2870 drivers). This by itself stops 95% of the crashes. Just try this for a while, if you still have occasional crashes, do the following. 2. Install the 855-fix at https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/855gm-fix, if you do not know how to install a new repository, well there are detailed directions at that site. Either one works, but I use the experimental. 3. Install the Mesa fix at https://launchpad.net/~brian-rogers/+archive/graphics-fixes, or if you can get 7.8.2 use that. 4. Go to https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver, and install the libraries, not the Intel driver. The current version 712 of the intel driver is IMHO, inferior to v.710. 710 had no crashes at all, 712 has very very intermittent ones, overall graphics performance is great with both. 5. DO NOT install the Compiz patch unless you know how to operate your computer in recovery mode.
Try this, it works. I can see all my screensavers, Google Earth works great, haven't tried any of the 3-d games, but I'm confident now. Flash and online apps are rock solid now. -- MASTER: [i845] GPU lockup (apport-crash) (Should KMS be blacklisted?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
