Title: apport-gpu-error-intel.py keep crashing for 4-5 times on every reboot Status in “xdiagnose” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “xdiagnose” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “xdiagnose” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Quantal: Fix Committed Status in “xdiagnose” source package in Raring: Won't Fix Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” source package in Raring: New Bug description: [Impact] Apport is disabled in the release itself, so this hook should not be getting triggered at all. However, for some users it does. This wouldn't be a big deal, except it also gets triggered in cases where no GPU lockup was experienced (aka False GPU lockups - bug #983640), which gives poor user experience. [Development Fix] Since we want any and all GPU lockup reports in the development release, we leave things as they are, and focus on getting a targeted fix to just #983640. [Stable Fix] Since we don't intend for the GPU lockup hook to be run at all, whether or not Apport is enabled, in the stable release we forcefully disable the udev hook entirely. If someone does specifically want this enabled, they'd need to also manually enable apport and so forth, in addition to re-enabling this udev rule. But I think it'd probably be easier for these people to just manually collect the gpu dump and dmesg directly, so don't expect anyone to need the script. A duplicate udev rule calling the gpu lockup apport hook has been installed by xserver-xorg-video-intel. Since the hook has been moved to xdiagnose, this extra rule is redundant and should be dropped from the package. Indeed, I believe this second hook is the cause of the false gpu lockup reports (the hook in xdiagnose was already fixed to not file these.) [Test Case] The issues have been strange corner case problems that seem to be highly hardware-specific, and not synthetically reproducible. 1. To verify the apport hook has been properly changed, do: grep apport-gpu-error /lib/udev/rules.d/* Expected Behavior: A single, commented-out line is printed Broken Behavior: Multiple lines printed, or the line is not commented out. 2. On affected hardware, boot into a regular user session normally Expected Behavior: No apport popups about GPU lockups Broken Behavior: Apport pops up dialog about a GPU lockup bug, when nothing of the sort had actually happened. [Regression Potential] None really, as this is just disabling functionality we don't need enabled in the release. The class of regressions to watch for with this would be udev-related problems, or odd apport behaviors. But I don't think anything untoward is remotely likely to happen. [Original Report] I installed ubuntu 12.04 recently on a DELL inspiron 1440 notebook. I think the chipset is GM45 something. I am quite fresh on linux operation system. I do not know how could I solve this problem. It seems not only me have this problem. I install ubuntu 12.04 64bit and windows 7 64bit on my notebook. Every time I enter the ubuntu, I will notify me this problem for 4-5 times. It say "sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error". the detail are as follows: ExecutablePath /usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py Package xserver-xorg-xideo-intel2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4 ProblemType Crash Title [gm45] GPU lockup EIR: 0x00000010 PGTBL_ER: 0x00100000 ApportVerion 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture amd64 .........
