The following from a resumed-to Ctrl-Alt-F2 text console results in the same sort of crashes, so the cause seems to be something other than (only) the display auto(re)detection:
chvt 7 xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode DFP-1 "1920x1080_60.00" The final crash hit so hard it corrupted all of /dev/sda's file systems (requiring to press F on each to even reboot). Looks a lot like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35648 back with a vengeance. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #35648 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35648 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341270 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 freezes on resume from suspend: GeForce GT 520 GPU with nouveau or proprietary nvidia-331 drivers, even when booted nosplash noquiet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1341270/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
