I had the same problem. As far as I understood the problem occurs with lot more probabilities when a video is playing, and it starts with some lag of it (with no relation with CPU load or memory). Ubuntu kernel has the issue, Liquorix kernel (http://www.liquorix.net/) on both Ubuntu and Debian, but no problems with Debian stable kernel (had no choice to test unstable and testing ones).

Jmadero, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed.

[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
yea... got the same problem as well. Have reported on it many many times. Have even sent an email to Mr. Shuttleworth's assistant (over it - maybe indeed). Fact is, I have been more than happy with Ubuntu ever since my definite migration from windows to 9.10. Thanks to Canonical and its community - sincerely. I did also start making publicity for Canonical's and the community's great efforts! However, even though all updates went fine, I ran into the problem mentioned here, first on 12.04. My first _clean_ install since 9.10, mind! After rebooting and anxiously looking forward to the new possibilities, it crashed not 10 minutes later - without installing anything additional! Just browsing the web. Hard reset only option. It kept on doing so... I mostly used 11.10 in the mean time, as 12.10 did not fix the problem. 13.04 initially seemed a lot more stable on my machine. But it quickly started to break up as well. Did I really need to back to Windows? I wanted GIMP 2.8 and LibreOffice 4.0! No. Wheezy was released, and, since it was installed about two weeks ago, I have not experienced a single crash - well one, but it was recoverable through PTYx. It is fast, has the latest versions of the programs I wanted to update and it seems rock-solid. Should I put in a Ubuntu background, I might not even notice a difference at all on Gnome3. I switched from Ubuntu to Debian because of necessity, but given Canonical's indifference to these showstopper problems and Debian's stability, I think I will stay... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908335 Title: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/908335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

ive been reading those threads for 3-4 days... and i think i might have found a solution that could work for some. Well... it works for me, Its been stable for a few hours and i could never pass the 10mins mark until now. I have a HP Pavilion 92077I with more ram. I tried Ubuntu Desktop, Server (+kde), Server (+Gnome). Version 12.10 and 12.0.4. I tried Latest Mint and latest Debian... all the same results... total freeze after a few mins in the graphical interface. Complete lockdown. No mouse, no ALT+F1...nothing. Had to hard reboot everytime. In a few cases i couldnt even get through the whole install process. I/O Errors. (with 2 different drives) God im tired... I tried everything. Changing the HD, the video card, checking the RAM. Switched the cpu, the network card, etc. With all the combinations above. Then i went to the BIOS ( i hate myself for not having tried that before) and found this setting: "on chip serial ata ": Disabled/Combined Mode/Enhanced Mode/Sata Only It was on "enhanced" for the whole time. After setting it to : Disabled.. if finally worked! I should have known that. My drive id IDE. Cant believe i missed that. If you do have an SATA drive..make sure its set accordingly in the BIOS.

I am running 12.04 LTS and got the same problem. So far, I could reproduce it by running Filezilla. The machine completely freezes, no mouse, no terminal, not even the magic kernel commands work anymore, and yes, the fan spins up. Machine T530, Intel i915, FullHD display. What I tried: Ubuntu 12.04.01 LTS from HDD upgraded from 10.10 via 11.04/11.10 Ubuntu 12.04.01 LTS from thumbdrive, plain installed from ISO Ubuntu 12.10 from thumbdrive, plain fresh ISO Gnome3 3.4 and 3.6 Gnome3 Fallback XFCE 4.10 Cinnamon 1.6.7 Unity Compiz Metacity With and without external display I cannot get kernel 3.3 or higher to work on my machine with the installed Ubuntu on HDD. Somehow the graphics fail but I currently have a 13.04 alpha running from thumbddrive and will see if this works ok or not. Already had a freeze without Filezilla open when I was starting Firefox. Survied an entire day when not using Filezilla, but since I had a freeze without it today, this is rather a lucky incident than system. But at least Filezilla seems to provoke it. Nothing in any log files, because the system stops instantly. So I suspect the kernel in conjunction with the T530 hardware. Turned of hyperthreading, power management, and so on... all the same. Because it happens with an 3.5 kernel as well, it is not only a 3.2 problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908335 Title: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/908335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
I have two different makes and models of computers running Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS and they are experiencing the same freezing that others are experiencing. One is a Dell Dimension 4600 and the other is a HP Pavilion 8679F. I know these are old, but previously they both were running 10.04 flawlessly without the freezing. I use the HP for DNS/DHCP in home and the Dell is my kids' Minecraft server. The HP has little load on it and the Dell is has load when my kids play Minecraft, otherwise it sits there throughout the day while the kids are in school. I am finding that on average, the freezes/hang state occurs every 24-48 hours. All currents updates have been installed on both machines. I am running the '3.2.0-31-generic-pae' kernel on both machines. I do not run X on either machine, although I installed Xrender on the minecraft server because it complained that Java needed it. After reading through this thread, I installed the 'linux-crashdump' package on both machines and will report what I get from it the next time this issue happens. Also, per a previous entry in this thread, I added the kernel parameter 'drm_kms_helper.poll=0' to grub as well. I never had this entry before, so we will see if that has any affect. In either case, I wanted to inform the relevant parties that this issue persists in the latest LTS release, and it does not matter what your hardware configuration is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908335 Title: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/908335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
As promised a further update from me and confirmation that I have definitely found a work-around. I've been running 12.04 Ubuntu with 3.2.0-24 for 3 days now with none of the hanging problems I'd previously experienced. That said I've realised that the problem isn't necessarily with the C-UAK42 mini receiver keyboard controller as stated above, it actually appears to be a problem between my Dell PR02X docking station and any USB device connected to it whilst running a 3.x kernel. As a test I plugged my Logitech wireless headphone received into the PR02X docking station and the system hung within 5 minutes. As promised I will update my kernel bug report in the hope that someone will follow through and identify what the issue is with the Dell PR02X docking station. Thanks one and all for the help and advice - enjoying life under 12.04!

[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
@Brendan Brigham - yes I think I should more correctly have said that there appeared to be a variety of issues causing the hanging on the other bug report, rather than suggesting they were all relating to video stressing. That wasn't my intention. Also the actual type of hang reported appears to be different too - some requiring power off, others fixable through keyboard intervention. I suspect that there are many root issues on that thread that should really be reported separately but Ubuntu 12.04 hanging is a catch-all. As with the 'solution' I've just posted, I can quite imagine that I am the only person on this bug report that is suffering from exactly this Logitech->Dell issue. I guess it does point to a core instability somewhere between drivers and the kernel though. Perhaps all these reports are related? Who knows? All I do know is that something in 2.6x kernel/drivers was able to deal correctly with my Logitech C-UAK42 mini receiver keyboard controller and since 3.x it's broken. Anyway, good luck with your issue and fingers crossed that I really have found a workaround. This has been driving me mad!

[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
@Louis Henriquez - OK so I *MIGHT* have some good news. I'm writing this entry from Ubuntu running 12.04 3.2.0-24 DOCKED! It's early days yet and I could yet be disappointed, but it *looks* like with your help I've narrowed down the problem and found a work around. It appears to be a conflict between my Dell PR02X docking station's USB sub-system and the Logitech C-UAK42 Mini Receiver wireless keyboard and mouse controller. I'll explain this long-hand below in case others are searching for the issue, or it provides clues to anyone trying to fix the it. I followed your advice of removing USB devices under the docked configuration where I knew that the system would eventually fail. I've triple checked each of the results and run the system for long duration in docked configuration so it *looks* like this is the problem. But as I've been trying to resolve this for over a year and had many a false dawn, I'll only know it's fixed after more use. So booting docked, with just the Logitech C-UAK42 Mini Receiver plugged into my Dell PR02X docking station and simply waiting at the login screen was enough for the system to hang in under 5 minutes. Booting docked but with the Logitech C-UAK42 Mini Receiver removed from the docking station meant that in each of the three tests I ran, I was able to leave it at the login prompt for ~20 minutes. The problem was that without it I was obviously without a keyboard and mouse. So out of hope more than science I ran the same test above but this time with the Logitech C-UAK42 Mini Receiver plugged into my laptop (using its in-built USB system - not the docking station's). In this configuration I was able to run the system for >3 hours and through a couple of reboots last night with no problems at all. I'm using it again this morning and so far so good. I've never been able to use a 3.x kernel in that configuration for that long before. I'll keep you updated and *if* this proves to be more conclusive I will update my kernel bug report too. Thank you once again for your help and I'd be more than happy to run further tests if anyone is interested in tracking this down further.

@Brendan, I don't think the comment was that it's high graphics usage, just the card itself (ie. just using it with xorg regardless of what you are using it for) is causing some kind of a hiccup.

[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
Thank you for providing this information. I took a quick lock at the logs and the first thing that caught my attention were the additional devices provided by the docking station. Next, I say the following at the end of the kernel-docked.log: [ 42.445360] retire_capture_urb: 36 callbacks suppressed [ 42.696115] delay: estimated 310, actual 1 [ 43.419428] delay: estimated 354, actual 1 [ 43.423747] delay: estimated 177, actual 0 [ 43.465214] delay: estimated 354, actual 1 ... This again suggests something related with a USB device. So, there are a couple of things we could try here. The first one would be, if if possible, to disconnect all the devices attached to the docking station. For example, the Wireless Headset, the USB Receiver and all the others. If this does actually solve the problem, we can try to go and start adding the devices one by one and see which one (or which combination) actually triggers the issue. If it is not possible to disconnect these devices (or if this does not solve the problem), another thing to try would be to compare the kernel modules loaded in both configurations (docked/un-docked). The list of kernel modules can be obtained through the command "lsmod". We could then try to blacklist the modules that are loaded only when the system is docked and try to find a possible buggy driver.

[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
The ideal scenario to help debugging this would be to get the kernel log during a system freeze through a serial console, but I guess your laptop does not have a serial port. The other thing that *could* help finding the cause of this issue would be to compare the logs of a kernel that is known to freeze the system with your laptop docked and un-docked. So, you could: - Un-dock your laptop, boot, and get the kernel logs - Dock your laptop, boot and get the kernel logs The important thing here is to use the same kernel in both runs, and to pick a kernel that is known to trigger the issue. Would you be able to append these two kernel logs to this bug report? You can get the kernel logs by simply booting and running "dmesg > kernel.log" in a terminal. (This will create a file named "kernel.log", that you should append to the bug report). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908335 Title: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/908335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
@joseph, the problem is still there with both versions of the kernel that you suggested I try. Firstly, I confirmed that the problem is still there in 3.0.0-16 (I think this is the latest release kernel) under 11.10. I booted with my laptop being UN-docked and, as usual, all was fine. I was able to download the kernel images you suggested and installed them. I then booted under 11.10 kernel 3.0.16 with my laptop DOCKED. I left it at the X (GUI) login screen for ~3 minutes and as usual it hung necessitating a hard rest. OK - so I knew the problem is still there and reproducible. I then booted DOCKED into 3.2.14 and because I only installed the kernel image I just got the character screen terminal login (No X). I waited for 5 minutes and was able to login. I logged out and waited again but was still able to login. Then I typed sudo shutdown 0 and in typing my password the system hung. When this happens the screen freezes and the keyboard doesn't respond at all (including ALT+Fx. Caps lock, etc). It requires a hard reset at this point. I then booted DOCKED into 3.4.0rc2 and this time I waited 5 minutes at the terminal login screen and it had hung as above. Another hard reset. Finally I booted 3.2.14 whilst UN-docked and used it at the character terminal for 10-15 mins with no problems whatsoever. I can use 11.10 kernel 3.x all day long when UN-docked with no problems. I can use 10.10 kernel 2.x all day long DOCKED or UN-docked with no problems. The problem appears to be readily reproducible whenever my laptop is DOCKED under 11.10 with a 3.x kernel. That said I have had a VERY small number of occasions when I was able to use 11.10 DOCKED for 10-180 minutes before it finally hangs. But this has happened so few times it's almost not important. It always hangs eventually. I mention it in case it helps to narrow down the issue. What would you like me to try next?

Joseph, I will try both Kernels and report back. I did try 3.2.1 as noted earlier in this thread but the issue of hanging was still there. Just to be clear, the last time I did this, the link allowed me to install the kernel and boot to a terminal prompt but does not link in my Nvidia drivers or the X system. Is that OK or should I carry out some further procedure to allow me to start X?

This is the place to report and it's out of my control (or yours) to escalate, that's up to the developers to decide importance. I'm no longer using Ubuntu, I left it about 4 months ago for a branch of it (Bodhi Linux) which I've been quite happy with. Have you also tried downgrading your kernel? If there is no reason to upgrade (ie. the new one supports your hardware better) there isn't any harm done going back to an older kernel. As I've moved away from ubuntu which is all about cutting edge, many developers think "if it's not broken, don't upgrade". With this philosophy in mind I now have two installs, one really basic one that I keep up to date for testing the other stable which I only upgrade after the test version has worked well for 1-2 months doing normal day to day stuff. I do think you should try 12.04, maybe it's a X problem which will be upgraded in 12.04, or a video driver issue which maybe was solved in 12.04. I think that the main issue is that as it gets so close to release of a new LTS they're probably focusing on this instead of looking at bugs on older releases (just a guess) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908335 Title: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/908335/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 908335] Re: Kernel Hard Freezing Very Often
Many thanks for the response Jmadero. No I haven't tried 12.04 but I will do when I get time. I'm more interested in whether this is the right mechanism for raising critical bugs like this with Ubuntu. Can you comment on that? If it's not the right mechanism then I'd gladly be pointed somewhere else. If it is the right place then I'm losing a bit of faith with the Ubuntu process. I'm not an uber-geek. I'm a technology marketing guy - a tech- savvy ex-Windows user that has been really happy with Ubuntu as my platform of choice for the last 18 months. But now I find myself between the proverbial rock and a hard place. 10.10 is EoL and an apparently critical bug in 11.10 is not fixed or even commented on despite months of me and others trying to get feedback. Plus I've no confidence that the same issue isn't in 12.04 - as you'll see above I've tried a 3.2x kernel. I guess I'm the sort of user that Ubuntu must reach out to if its to reach a more mainstream audience and I'm struggling to justify my decision to use it at the moment. I don't want that to sound too dramatic, I really value that OS movement, love using Ubuntu and recognise the value that I've already had, but this is very frustrating. I have to believe that I must be in the wrong place to post these reports if they are just being ignored. One more time, can anyone tell me how to escalate this bug report?

@Chucktr I can leave my Ubuntu 11.10 machine to boot while in the docking station and when I come back to it (3-20 minutes later) the system will have hung at the login password prompt. This is repeatable 99.9% of the time. If I log in straight away then I will either get <3 minutes use (90+% of the time) or I will be able to use it for 30-180 minutes before it hangs - but it always hangs. If I boot out of the docking station then 11.10 runs wonderfully with zero hangs. As for the cursor, which I'm not sure is important in my case, it is either a vertical bar or has completely disappeared by the time it hangs. Also my system hangs completely. No movable mouse cursor, no keyboard response (ALT+Fn) and no led status light activity. The screen is left as it was when it hung and it requires a hard reset to turn off.

Jmadero. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I installed the 3.2.1 kernel image from the link you pointed me to. The machine booted to console not the desktop as I guess my Nvidia drivers were not available and therefore the x config is wrong. I logged in to the shell but after about 2 minutes the system hung again. Booting away from my docked station appeared to work with no problems. Problem still there. I had previously tried disabling the docking station's Ethernet port and also booting with the wireless networking disabled (as a post above suggested that Realtek network hardware might be a problem - although I'm pretty sure my Dell e6400 has Intel WiFi hardware). Disabling both still caused 11.10 Ubuntu with kernel 3.0.0-15 to hang.
