[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1371401] Re: randomly freezing

2015-03-31 Thread Geoff Williams
Summary
===
I think I am affected by this same bug, I have all the above systems and get 
hard lockups with Linux kernel 3.16 every 5 - 15 minutes.

Attempted upgrading to (x)ubuntu 14.10 to see if this improved stability
and laptop crashed so badly during the upgrade that it broke grub and
had to be recovered with ubuntu boot-repair.  This alowed the system to
boot and I was able to complete configuration with dkpg --configure -a
--pending

System still crashes every few minutes when running (x)ubuntu 14.10 and
about 50% of the time crashes before even reaching the login screen.  If
I'm lucky attempting to swich VCs will resolve things but the system
always crashes eventually and has to be powered off by holiding the
power button for 10 seconds or via the magic sysreq key.  No other key
cominations work.

Hardware

I also have an Asus laptop with an Nvida card which is what led me to this bug 
report, the following hardware is present:
* Laptop model Asus G750JS (ASUS-NotebookSKU)
* GK104M [GeForce GTX 870M]
* 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (i915 - not used)
* BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
* QCA8171 Gigabit Ethernet

BIOS/DMI information
==
I tried flashing the latest BIOS from 
(http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ROG_G750JS/HelpDesk_Download/) 
but it didn't fix anything.

Running the commands listed above gives:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version  sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
G750JS.208
07/17/2014

Driver info

This problem occurs with both the nouveau and nvidia drivers:
rc  nvidia-331-updates  331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 (removed 
by additional drivers application)
ii  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau  1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2 

Workaround
==
This configuration is rock solid on kernel 3.13.  I was able to boot to a 
previously installed kernel (3.13.0-44-generic) and the system performs as 
expected and is stable.

Debug info
=
I was able to take a photo after the ubuntu system upgrade crashed (attached).  
The system has been generating a bunch of problem reports too so I've been 
clicking the submit button.  Happy to rovide futher info or try a few 
experiments to get this resolved.
