[Kernel-packages] [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2014-01-27 Thread VaidhyM
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I am facing the full freeze issues too.
So much that its froze for 12 times in 2 hours. Hard Reboot is the only
way to revive the system. The configuration is,

Intel Core i7 2630QM @ 2.00 GHz
4 GB RAM (2x2) + 2 GB Swap
nVidia GT 540M

During freezes trackpad doesn't work. Some have upgraded kernel from 3.2
to 3.4 and have solved their issues. I am running kernel 3.8 and still
facing issues. The Xorg display drivers seemed to create problems so
running Additional Drivers for nVidia recommended by Ubuntu. Any views
on how to proceed further? Strangest thing is never once a bug report
was generated after hard reset of the laptop. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

  This bug is about a complete system lock-up. No other TTYs can be started. 
Mouse doesn't move. Keyboard doesn't react. The only solution is hard reset.

  Seems to happen on a variety of configurations, including nVidia, ATI
  and Intel graphics.

  If you are still able to TTY or SSH into other sessions, move the
  mouse or use the keyboard, file another bug.

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2014-01-27 Thread Antonio Falk
Hi,

I was running different Nvidia graphic cards with different proprietary
Nvidia drivers (see my previous post).

Changed the Nvidia graphic card to an old HD 5670 Radeon AMD and loaded
the catalyst drivers. *Until now no more system hangups has appeared.*
Will try e newer AMD R9 290 card later on.

This explains why my kids PC did not hang at all, due to running it on the
internal Intel CPU graphic.

So for my system, it seems that the freezes was related to graphic card. I
don't know if the bug is in the proprietary Nvidia drivers or in Ubuntu.
Sad to change from the Nvidia, because it always worked like a dream in
Linux.

I am also having an issue where my system completely locks up.  Mouse /
keyboard are unresponsive and I am unable to ssh in from another system.

This is a new build with all new hardware:

ASUS H81I-PLUS Socket 1150 w/ Intel H81 Chipset
Intel Pentium G3220 Dual-Core Processor @ 3.0 GHz
Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (under clocked to 1333 by the BIOS)
Intel 330 Series 60GB SSD
on-board Intel graphics connected via HDMI to a 24 Samsung LCD TV

I was originally running openSuSE 13.3 w/KDE, but as this system is meant to be 
a multimedia system, it was causing more trouble that I wanted to deal with. I 
do not recall it freezing at any time.
I then installed Kubuntu 13.10 64bit as the multimedia support is better than 
SuSE.  This is when I started to get multiple lock ups.  I thought maybe it was 
due to something not being happy with 13.10, so I installed 12.04.3 LTS w/ KDE 
4.12.  I also removed the 8GB 'Team' memory and installed a single 4GB ADATA 
1333MHz DIMM.
This appeared to have resolved the issue, but it locked up on me three times 
yesterday.  Once while using Amarok (remote mySQL database  collection on a 
FreeNAS NFS share), once while just using the desktop and another while 
attempting to play an 800MB .MKV file in XBMC standalone (remote mySQL, file 
located on a FreeNAS NFS share).
I've checked the various logs, and there does not appear to be anything of any 
relevance as nothing 'crashes' exactly, the entire system just locks.

I've disabled all power management features  functions.
No wi-fi hardware installed / enabled.
Cat 6 gigabit network connection.
Microsoft Sculpt bluetooth keyboard w/ ASUS bluetooth dongle
- paired with bluemon
Microsoft ARC wireless mouse w/ MS wireless dongle

2014-01-02 Thread Antonio Falk
I have also been facing this problem for a long time. It began with
12.04LTS as I remember. Previously the system was stable as a rock
running 10.04 LTS.

Tried to re-install the OS from scratch, but still facing the problem.
Changed Video card, main board. Swapping RAM tried different graphics
drivers, different available kernels but there is still random freezing.
Could not effort to change the $1000 CPU...

To me it happens most often when kicking on a link in Thunderbird to be
opened in Firefox. Complete freeze, but the mice some times still moves
around. No response from keyboard at all (numloc and capsloc LEDs does
not change). Some times the system freeze when running in idle, and I
discover this at logon screen. Normal uptime is about two three days
between forced HW reboots.

The strange about this bug is, that my kids runs a PC Intel Core i7-3770
3,4GHz Asrock/Gigabyte B75-Chipset mATX without facing any problem at
all.  I'm also user on the PC, running Gnome classic and compiz. I never
log out, just switch user. It only reboots when applying new packages
that requires a reboot, els its always running stable.


Current configuration facing this problem:

uptime 12:57:54 up 1 day,  2:22
  
Gnome Classic + Compiz
Linux-x86_64
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3960X CPU @ 3.30GHz
Kernel 3.8.0-34-generic
NVIDIA GTX760 Driver Version: 319.32

I am also facing the same issue.
But since I am running kernel version 3.12.x the system is very stable. Freezes 
only once in a week with 3.12.5 (before I had freezes 1-3 times a day)
I am not sure if it is the kernel version. As I am now working with Debian 
Jessie I also got a lot of updates from firmware to wifi driver. I am still 
thinking about if the issue could be related to the wlan area/power 
management?

I have been facing this problem for a long time now and it still doesn't
seem to get fixed. To me it happens most often on multimonitor using
HDMI, but also with a single monitor or multimonitor using VGA.

Using a Dell Studio XPS 1340 laptop with:
Ubuntu 12.04
Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-57-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700  @ 2.53GHz
GPU - NVIDIA SLI:

Driver Version: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.20 - dowloaded from NVIDIA site, but 
getting the same problem with the ones in the Ubuntu repository

I've been losing a lot of time trying to fix it by reinstalling NVIDIA
drivers. It caused me to lose a lot of work by freezing my computer
randomly.

stable, no freezes yet in 5-6 hrs of using and watching videos for couple of 
hrs.

  Original description:
  I recently installed newly released ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit version on my 
desktop. And it is frequently freezing, for the first few hours it ran smoothly 
and when I started watching videos it started freezing randomly.
  I have to use hard restart every time.
  Initially it was only during videos but now even during normal browsing it is 
freezing.

  I am using on board graphics and do not have any graphics card
  installed.

  Can someone please help me here, I really love the new looks of 12.04
  and it bugs me not being able to use :(

  Below is my hardware configuration:
  Processor: Intel CORE i3 processor (2nd generation)
  Board: Intel® Desktop Board DH67BL
  Ram: 4GB
  Graphics: On board

  Please let me know if you need more information, or any specific logs
  I can capture (and how).

2013-11-18 Thread rsoika
I also switch to Debian 7. But I had still freezes. 
Now that I am running kernel version 3.12.0 it seems that my system becomes 
stable. I saw 'only' one freeze in 14 days. 
After all (I am affected from this problem still 10 month!) I guess that the 
problem is issued by the wifi. But I did not know how to test or verify this.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2013-11-17 Thread Eduardo
476 users and still no attention from the developers. 8 MONTHS after the
release of Ubuntu 12.04 and still having whole system freezes on a daily
basis. In two fully different computers, with the i386 and amd64
versions of Ubuntu 12.04.

Users that turn their computers off after a several hours session will
almost never notice the freezes. It is us users who want to leave our
computers running for more than one day, who are suffering this problem.
The average running time before a whole system freeze is about 10 hours,
though sometimes it may happen in much shorter/longer time. Please
somebody explain me that, or I will start elaborating conspirational
theories, because it really FEELS as there is a hidden timer in the
kernel, with an random average pre-set running time around ten hours.

Is this part of some fight against P2P piracy? My teenage eMule times
are far beyond, and I don't much know about how the corresponding
programs work today, but I badly need to run numerical simulations at
home, and some of them take about 3 days. Most times they are ruined by
these freezes. I already have changed the distro to an older Fedora in
one of the computers, so that my simulations run fine there. But my
laptop still has (K)ubuntu 12.04. I am still waiting, hoping and apt-get
updating, for months now. But I am getting tired. I may give up soon and
say goodbye to a long, personal tradition of confidence on Ubuntu. I am
getting sick of waking up in the morning, going to the computer and
seeing that it has frozen again during the night.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

2013-07-31 Thread Andrew Voumard
Hi,

I also had the problem where my kubuntu 12.04 install was completely
hardware freezing - i.e absolutely no response from any input device and
in particular CTRL+ALT+SysRq REISUB was not responding at all either.

I found the problem was happening close to when I was switching the
external monitor on  off (I switch it via a KVM switch).

Note that I use x11vnc to remotely connect to the same desktop, and I
think that may have helped trigger the fault.

I updated ALL installed software, but to no avail, it was happening 3 or
4 times a day ...

*** THE FOLLOWING FIX WORKED FOR ME -been ROCK SOLID for a week now ***

I installed the following kernel upgrade described here:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/142192/can-i-install-linux-kernel-3-4-in-
ubuntu-and-kubuntu-12-04

So I downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-precise/

And did:
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.4.0-030400_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i 
linux-headers-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-3.4.0-030400-generic_3.4.0-030400.201205210521_i386.deb

Rebooted, and the problem completely disappeared (so far anyway !)

My machine specs:

uname -r
3.4.0-030400-generic

MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V-LX

I am using the onboard video, with nothing but the default kubuntu video
installation.
