Title:
GPU hangs, error messages and several instances of apport-gtk running
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
From the updates around last Friday or Saturday, I now get repeated
dialogue boxes with "System program problem detected" and "Sorry,
Ubuntu 12.10 has experienced an internal error". The executable path
in the latter error is /usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py.
several instances of apport-gtk run in the background maxing out the
CPU but nothing ever happens - I had to submit this error bug using
ubuntu-bug.
This bug may be related to Bug #1073626 or bug #1140716. I'm reporting
this as a distinct bug as unlike the former bug, I do see brief
freezes (for instance, in scrolling Firefox windows) and the gpu hangs
appear to be genuine prior to the dialogue boxes being displayed, and
unlike the latter, rolling back to a previous kernel version does not
solve the problem.
Please accept my apologies if this behaviour is related to one of the
bugs above.
Ubuntu release: 12.10
What I expected to happen - no gpu hangs, no repeated dialogue boxes
and apport-gtk to do something.
What happened instead: frequent gpu hangs, repeated dialogue boxes and
several instances of apport-gtk running whilst no progress is
observed.
