I tried a few different kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/. I tried kernel 3.8.9 and kernel 3.9-rc8, both still crash after a while, so a fix for this bug is still needed for future kernels. I haven't tried 3.7.x.
I then installed kernel 3.6.11 (for raring), which seems to work (fingers crossed). I have not had a crash for the last 4 hours (which is either a new record or the kernel fixed the problem). For everybody looking for a step-by-step solution: I downloaded (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6.11-raring/): linux-headers-3.6.11-030611-generic_3.6.11-030611.201212171335_i386.deb linux-headers-3.6.11-030611_3.6.11-030611.201212171335_all.deb linux-image-3.6.11-030611-generic_3.6.11-030611.201212171335_i386.deb linux-image-extra-3.6.11-030611-generic_3.6.11-030611.201212171335_i386.deb I'm not sure if the last one is necessary, but it doesn't seem to hurt. Install with: cd Downloads (or whatever folder you downloaded the files to) sudo dpkg -i linux* Reboot and select the 3.6.11 kernel in grub under advanced options for Ubuntu (you might have to hold Shift if Grub doesn't normally show at boot). You may have to reset unity after rebooting and logging in (it crashed in my case and refused to restart, but after resetting it works fine). You can get acces to a terminal if unity is crashed by either pressing Ctrl-Alt-T or Ctrl-Alt-F1. Then do: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ After resetting unity, you have to either reboot or do: setsid unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173581 Title: Ubuntu 13.04 full system crash/kernel panic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
