[Bug 1509723] Re: Ubuntu freezes occasionally

 

Christian Wansart, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better.

As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.11). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Ubuntu freezes occasionally

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am running Ubuntu 15.10 and my notebook freezes occasionally. I had
  the same issue with Ubuntu 15.04, but I thought that 15.10 might
  change it. I am running Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire ES1-311 (P1D5).

  I have no clue what causes this, my system just freezes and I can't do
  anything anymore. ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't work as well as alt+print+REISUB
  doesn't work either. It's just frozen. I have to power down manually.

  Last time I was programming only with a gnome-terminal and atom
  (editor) opened. I checked some log files but I couldn't find anything
  suspicious.

  Any ideas?
