Title:
[radeon] Screen freeze
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
This may be correlated to the move to Bionic Beaver(?) LTS, now
18.04.4. It may also be correlated to getting low on disk space on my
system drive (50GB SSD) and putting pressure on swap space. e.g when
system HDD <= 1GB. My secondary HDD is a 1TB USB spinning device
that sometimes seems to go into sleep mode and then fails to rapidly
respond to IO request or may be is in a 'hot IO' state. On my Bus I
have a low capacity HDD that is essentially unused because it rarely
comes ready when I boot. If it is partially alive it is conceivable
that it might be chattering and so competing for IO interrupt handling
bandwidth?
The problem only occurs when I have selected the desktop management
tile from the 'side tray' and if I then shuffle or better align the
windows inside one of the four desktops so as to stop them running
into the neighbouring desktop area. Particularly, it seems to me, when
at least one of the desktops is quite busy with windows open in it and
the overlapped desktop has a few also. The fewer windows in total
across the desktops the less likely it seems that rearranging a few
will have any bad effect.
When the freeze occurs then 60%(?) of the time it ends in a 'big red
switch' reboot. The cursor stays active but ineffective. Keyboard
combinations, like Alt+W, will sometimes succeed in bringing up to
full screen mode and active the desktop that was in focus and
constitutes a recovery. Other times, and keys, will delete focussed
windows in the focussed desktop, and Tab will move focus around the 4
desktops. SHIFT+Print Screen also executes but just takes the whole
screen and dumps it somewhere I haven't yet located... with sound
effect.
Hope this helps... I am not at fully at home with Ubuntu/Linux yet... having
spent a lifetime on glasshouse legacy IBM mainframe field systems engineering.
I am making myself more system disk space meanwhile, and while extract my old
Maxtor. It would be nice if I didn't have to up my system disk to hundreds of
GB!
best regards,
Rob
