At work we have computers running Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.2.0-29 and 12.10 with kernel 3.5.0-26. All computers are now getting random bug with unity or even with unity-2d or gnome-panel, since we started upgrading kernel the 20 March (kernel 3.2.0-29 was installed at this date).
By merging/sorting changelog of both kernel I found 5 changes applied to both kernel, so regression was probably introduced by one of them. * drm/i915: Disable AsyncFlip performance optimisations - LP: #1117693 * drm/i915: dump UTS_RELEASE into the error_state - LP: #1117693 * drm/i915: GFX_MODE Flush TLB Invalidate Mode must be '1' for scanline waits - LP: #1117693 * drm/i915: Implement WaDisableHiZPlanesWhenMSAAEnabled - LP: #1117693 * drm/i915: Invalidate the relocation presumed_offsets along the slow path - LP: #1117693 On all of your computer simply running glxgears make the GPU Hung occur instantly with affected kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1140716 Title: [regression] 3.5.0-26-generic GPU hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1140716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
