[Bug 1497627] Re: Periodically video will freeze for no reason at all and no specific time between freezes.

 

chris pollock, anything change for you with the Vivid enablement stack
as outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack ?

** Description changed:

- This has been going on for over a year. It doesn't matter if I have any
- applications open such as Evolution or Firefox. It could happen any time
- during the day when I'm working on the computer or during the night when
- its' the most idle. Once the video freezes the cursor can still be moved
- around the desktop however clicking on anything does not work. During
- this time all background process and cronjobs continue to run.
+ What I expect to happen is the video to not freeze every so often.
+ What happened is that the video froze. This has been going on for over a year. It doesn't matter if I have any applications open such as Evolution or Firefox.

- Running the command listed below:
- 
- chris@localhost:~$ cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
- cat: /proc/version_signature: No such file or directory
- 
- Of course what I expect to happen is the video to not freeze every so often.
- What happened is that the video froze.

Title:
  Periodically video will freeze for no reason at all and no specific
  time between freezes.

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  What I expect to happen is the video to not freeze every so often.
  What happened is that the video froze. This has been going on for over a year. It doesn't matter if I have any applications open such as Evolution or Firefox. It could happen any time during the day when I'm working on the computer or during the night when it's the most idle. Once the video freezes the cursor can still be moved around the desktop however clicking on anything does not work. During this time all background process and cronjobs continue to run.
