[Bug 1386534] Re: kernel dependent deterministic view crash on X startup

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected compiz-0.9 ubuntu utopic

** Description changed:

  kernel 3.13.0-37 and 3.16.0-23, but not kernel 3.13.0-36
  
  The phenomenon: just when the user interface starts at the end of the
  Ununtu startup, the screen reamins in one solid color (very light grey,
  this is the everage of my colors), except for the topmost 3-4 scan
  lines, where one can see some sort of vibrating content. Sometimes there
  is a 1-3 seconds of normal operation just at the start, when Ctrl-Alt-F2
  works, and swithing there one can work in the character terminal
  forever.  But as soon as the disorder in the X view appears, even the
  Ctrl-Alt-F2 console change does not work visually, however a blindly
  stroken Ctr-Alt-Del is correctly executed.
  
  What I know: (1) on the core i3 based laptop there is no trace of this
  kind of view crash, while in case of the Phenom x6 1100t and Radeon HD
  6570 based desktop machine the problem is fully deterministic.  (2) the
  problem is distro independet, i.e.:  I have it with Ubuntu 14.04 +
  kernel 3.13.0-37-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 +
  3.16.0-23-generic, and I do NOT have it with Ubuntu 14.04 + kernel
  3.13.0-36-generic, and also with Ubuntu 14.10 + 3.13.0-36-generic.  (3)
  In case of Ubuntu 14.04 in average every second or third boot gave a 1-3
  seconds of grace period when I could escape to Ctrl-Alt-F2, while in
  case of Ubuntu 14.10 there is no such a short time slot when I could
  escape.  (4) my configuration is set to fall into my only user account
  directly, I will do experiments, whether the problem is there, if the
  startup is without falling into an account.
  
  If I can, I will apport log files with produced with the
  3.16.0-23-generic kernel as well, not only with the 3.13.0-36-generic.
