[Bug 1098779] Re: Xorg freeze
Howard Chu, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal: cd /var/crash sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y upgrade sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-core-dbg xserver-xorg-video-radeon-dbg xserver-xorg-video-ati-dbg sudo service apport start force_start=1 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit. If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and it does nothing, you may be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line: gksudo gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf and comment out the line: 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'], by changing it to: # 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'], Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via: ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash Please follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash when you file this crash report so the necessary information is provided. I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thank you for your understanding.

[Bug 1098779] Re: Xorg freeze
Since it turned out that installing the fglrx package doesn't automatically run 'aticonfig --initial', I've attached log files for both when xorg.conf is not present and when it is generated by running 'aticonfig --initial', along with the generated xorg.conf file.

[Bug 1098779] Re: Xorg freeze
I can confirm this on 100%, with some more details: - I haven't tried ssh, but my power button works - not forcing it, I see messages about terminating running processes. - Kernel image version is irrelevant, I've tried with 3.5.0-17-generic, 3.5.0-21-generic, 3.5.0-22-generic. - fglrx-updates gives the same result. - Installing the latest drivers from AMD's website also doesn't work (both the latest stable and Catalyst 12.11 Beta 11). Xorg.0.log says Screens found, but none have a usable configuration. (from memory, I'm on another machine right now and will post the full log later). My graphics adapter is AMD Mobility Radeon HD 7650M on a Sony Vaio E series (SVE1712V1EB) laptop. I did a lot of googling and it seems like only a few guys on Arch Linux have managed to run a Radeon HD 7000M series adapter with fglrx. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098779 Title: Xorg freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1098779/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
