Title:
  Linux kernel freeze (it seems in current/3.19.0-17) on Dell Inspiron
  1525

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  First READ about how I deceived ubuntu-bug!

  I'm not sure it matters or what info ubuntu-bug collects, but I didn't
  do "ubuntu-bug linux" since it gave an error:

  "Problem in linux-image-3.19.0-13-generic

  The problem cannot be reported:

  This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party
  package and try again."

  I did ubuntu-bug Xorg just to get some collection of info, NOT saying
  xorg is the fault.

  Note that this bug report is NOT about that kernel but the most
  current (and maybe one or two others).

  Yesterday I wasn't having this problem with kernels (at least not the
  newest one I had not installed.. I may have had different problems, do
  not believe hardware broken though).

  $ ls -lrt /boot/initrd.img-3.1*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19976179 apr 10 17:20 /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-47-generic
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21779681 apr 11 14:54 /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-13-generic
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21782845 apr 19 13:54 /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-15-generic
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21733320 maí  8 20:26 /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-15-lowlatency
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21780289 maí  8 21:04 /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-17-generic

  I believe I've been running 3.19.0-15-generic for the last few days. I
  just run the most recent one (usually - but not now because of the
  problems below).

  Today (this evening) I upgraded some stuff including the kernel.
  3.19.0-17 does not boot up. I've tried several times and get a blank
  screen. I may have gotten something else, a splash-screen (not as far
  as login-screen), on the first try. DO not count on that as I may
  misremember.

  Then booting into 3.19.0-15-generic I could log in, so it seems the
  kernel above is the problem. Note I also upgraded more, say
  networking. AND now while I can log in, that kernel quickly froze
  (twice just after starting Chrome w/lots of tabs) - in a way I've
  never seen - the CAPS LOCK and the light to the RIGHT (NOT NUM LOCK to
  the left) where blinking in sync. I may have forgotten (or not?) to
  try a virtual terminal as this seemed a sure indication that something
  was wrong.

  [I also booted into just-installed 3.19.0-15-lowlatency and got the
  blinking lights.]

  Then I booted into 3.19.0-13 and am now for a much longer time in
  Chrome, so far no freeze..

  [I was doing apt-get autoclean today, deleting kernels, so maybe I'm
  wrong about the exact version of the kernel I was running without
  problems, but at least all the info on kernels that do not work are
  right.]
