[Bug 1503961] Re: Ubuntu freezes after upgrade when logging in

 

** Description changed:

  I have just made a regular upgrade on my ubuntu vivid machine. After
  doing so the system freezes after login. I tried different accounts and
  different window managers (xmonad and gnome fallback), but it freezes
  every time a few seconds after login.
  
  Because of the freeze I cannot report this bug using ubuntu-bug. So tell
  me what files you need for debugging this (I have ssh command line
  access to the frozen machine).
  
  It might be relevant that the mouse pointer changes from a white one to
  a smaller black one when it freezes.
  
  After freezing I cannot switch to console via Ctrl+Alt+F1.
+ 
+ I tried to narrow it down by switching to the previous kernel
+ 
+ 3.19.0-30 works
+ 3.19.0-31 freezes
+ 
+ Then I diffed the output of dmesg with and without freeze. The relevant
+ part (when it is freezing) seems to be:
