Patrik Bubák, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-
and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-45-notebook-lenovo an update to
your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (36). If you update
to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Libreoffice crashing the whole session in 15.04

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  I've looked around but couldn't find any bug post related to this
  issue, so I'm posting a new.

  Libreoffice is known to crash the entire session on certain AMD
  configurations, mine happens to be one of them.

  AMD A6-6310 APU w/ AMD Radeon R4 and R5 M230 graphics.

  Libreoffice worked perfect on 14.04.2 last time I checked, on 15.04
  it's unusable due to the crash.

  Whenever it happens I get:

  starting version 219
  [drm:radeon_acpi_init [radeon]] *ERROR* cannot find a backlight controller

  and the whole session crashes.

  [Test case]

  I've tried also other distributions and kernels. Kernel 3.18 on
  Manjaro Xfce seems to be unaffected. Previous versions on Ubuntu as
  well.

  Kernel 3.19.*+ on Ubuntu and Fedora are also affected. Antergos didn't
  even boot from the LiveCD because of this.
