Public bug reported: Problem with running programs: system crashes at random moments: vertical lines over the screen, you can't change the num/caps lock lights on the keyboard. Sometimes spontaneous reboot, sometimes Alt+SysRq+REISUB works, sometimes I need to turn off the power.
So far this problem has occured when running these programs: firefox, virtualbox, supertuxkart, movie player etc... No specific package involved so I hope I file the bug the right way. ubuntu-bug GPU/ubuntu- bug kernel said package doesn't exist, so I couldn't think of a better package than xorg. This machine doesn't have this problem when booting another OS from grub, but I haven't tried another linux installation yet. I was told to file this problem as a bug report: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134026/ubuntu-12-04-x64-crashes-when- starting-programs. Answers to "We also need:" 1) The release of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 2) The version of xorg: 1:7.6+12ubuntu1 3) What you expected to happen: system doesn't crash 4) What happened instead: system crashed. Let me know if you need more information or if I can help in any other way. Thanks for the hard work!
