Public bug reported: I recently updated from 16.04 LTS to 17.04.

When checking the syslog, I see repeated instances of messages like this: May 10 07:36:40 Hickory kernel: [224616.143587] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 23s!

I've also seen instances where individual applications will lock up suddenly, and I am unable to kill them because they are waiting on an uninterruptable communication with the CPU. The only recourse I have found in those cases has also been to reboot. ** Affects: compiz Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: kernel Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: nvidia Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: systemd Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: compiz Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: systemd Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: kernel Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689951 Title: System locks up unrecoverably after CPU soft lockup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1689951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
