[Bug 1594046] Re: lts 16.04 crashes frequently on acer TC-605

2016-06-21 Thread David Johnston
Didnt get the bug reports after the restart. Removed the quiet and
splash options from the grub_cmdline_linux_default setting, but that
doesnt seem to help. Still getting occasional crashes.

Getting close to the time to switch to redhat, or another linux, I
think.

saw one report saying this sort of problem ceased happening after
switching from linux 4.x to linux 3.x kernal. Might try that.

Has anyone got any suggestions please ? 
Is there a big backlog of bugs waiting to be triaged ?

One other thing - after restarting from the frozen session, I didnt get
any bug report dialogues coming up. Will restart again before updating
grub per prior entry and see if it asks to lodge a bug report.

2016-06-19 Thread David Johnston
The suggestion from 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/776069/ubuntu-16-04-freezes-during-use
which I found using the search mentioned in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1578944

to addintel_idle.max_cstate=1
to the options on   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
doesnt seem to have worked. 

I applied it to the default grub option, did sudo update-grub,
restarted, logged on, did a few things then went away to do some other
stuff. When I resumed working on the machine, it had frozen, except for
the mouse pointer, which was able to be moved around, but no click or
keyboard action got any response from the system.

(the initial suggestion from the ask ubuntu answer referred to above was
to replace "quiet splash" with intel_idle.max_cstate=1, but the later
comment said just adding it worked for that person, so I tried adding
it. I will now try replacing (i.e. removing the "quiet splash" as well
as adding the above) instead and see if that works)

meanwhile, one of the items I read mentioned same mouse pointer was able
to be controlled but all else frozen. Will search again for that and see
if it had another solution which I can try after I check the replace
referred to above.

2016-06-18 Thread David Johnston
Seems similar to 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1574951
(found as first case with search for Acer alone, without mentioning distro, or 
the words crashes, frequently, or the machine model. 

I wasnt sure which package needed to be noted so picked the ubuntu-release 
package. 
maybe should have indicated unity or compiz or something like that. 

Also did searches using Acer + freeeze, 
for LTS 16.04 release - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1592442
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1578944
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1528880
similar for other releases - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1511844
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1509723
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1509723
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/733392


and search for acer + crash 
but the only one found which seemed relevant was the first one listed above - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1592442


Based on this suggestion, I have added a line to the grub entry for my dual 
boot start menu - 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/776069/ubuntu-16-04-freezes-during-use
(thanks to the reporter of bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1578944 for the reference)

Will keep an eye on the system and advise if the above workaround avoids the 
problem. 
If it does, it may suggest how the underlying cause can be found and fixed so 
the need for the workaround can be obviated.
