Public bug reported: Hi all, I'm sorry I can't be more specific than this, my laptop is a HP Compaq nc6320 and every now and again I seem to get a crash. I have managed to take a picture of the screen with my phone to show what this looks like. My sound suddenly starts going mad and the screen has lines that jump everywhere.
I cannot identify what triggers it off as sometimes I am in a browser, other times I am in a picture viewer. I am using Ubuntu 8.10. This has actually been a problem back in Hardy as well, though I can't remember if I had it in Gutsy and before. Screenshot can be found at the link below http://i36.tinypic.com/3446rfo.jpg I have even tried Linux Mint (latest version) and the bug exists in that too. The easiest way to reproduce it, would be to open a picture, any picture, in the gnome picture viewer (don't get any ideas, this program doesn't cause it as it happens in others too, and it's not always when i use the scroll wheel, but this is the easiest way I have found to reproduce the bug) and use the scroll wheel to zoom in really far, to say, 800%, then zoom out again, and keep zooming in and out until it crashes. I have attached a video of what the crash screen looks like because it is hard to explain. Excuse the quality, I used my phone as a video camera. >From lspci I get; 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) It's really annoying and really strange. I'm posting this from a PCLinuxOS Live CD at the minute, because my Ubuntu just keeps getting worse and worse for some reason. If any other info can be used, please let me know and I will do my best to get it.
