["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Teunis Peters, 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.

Title:
  hard crash on ION2 graphics chipsets

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Symptom:
  During startup of (eg) gnome3 or (ew) unity, the system locks up hard.

  'classic' mode on gnome3 works though.   (unity still unusable, but
  I'm not sure it ever could be on this system)

  Probably cause:
  ION2 chipset - is Intel + nVidia chipset, the nVidia is not supposed to be called unless it is explicitely activated.   Am guessing the application is attempting to make calls on non-operational nvidia.
  (note: crashes FAR worse if neuveaux driver present, causing data loss)
  Primary driver is intel.   Secondary (nvidia) operates within a memory window - it's like the 3DfX driver back in the day.  Computer and chipset both new.
  Purpose of dual chipset is that intel is low-power mode, nvidia kicks in for high-performance apps.  (eg: NOT the desktop)
