[Bug 893413] Re: machines halts for a short period of time at arbitrary intervals

 

rburns, 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 <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. 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-v3.11-rc5

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. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.38 needs-upstream-testing

Title:
  machines halts for a short period of time at arbitrary intervals

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The machine appears to halt at random intervals for random short
  amounts of time. In  the dmesg output there is sometimes several
  sometimes just one or a few back traces related to a missed
  ironlake_irq_handler. These backtraces don't coincide with each halt.

  The ui is affected by the halts in a variety of ways. Audio will skip,
  and replay sections of the file, though produce sound continuously.
  the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. Sometimes a keypress will
  'stick' and produce a steam of the appropriate letter on the screen
  for the duration of the halt. Desktop effects will halt mid-
  transition.
