Out of frustration with losing work at random times when using Chromium, I have decided to to disable video acceleration options in Chromium and upgrad to 14.04 LTS. This appears to have resolved the GPU hang issue, but it is very frustrating that this appeared at all. I was staying with 12.04 LTS because, as the name implies, it is supposed to be stable. For some reason, one of the updates made it very unstable.
also, this is most likely a duplicate. There are many reports of Chromium causing GPU hangs: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80568 http://blogs.fsfe.org/the_unconventional/2014/11/12/debian-x-drivers/ Thanks for your help, @penalvch, but I think it's a much bigger issue and I don't have enough time to fully look into it. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #80568 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80568 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394424 Title: [Compaq Presario V6613TU Notebook PC] Xorg crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1394424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
