[Bug 1402401] Re: Xorg freeze when switching to text console and back

 

Sabin Iacob, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX302LG/HelpDesk_Download/
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (210).
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, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status Confirmed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Xorg freeze when switching to text console and back

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Sometimes the computer becomes unresponsive after switching to a text
  console and back; this seems to be an Xorg and / or kernel driver
  crash (there is a backtrace in dmesg that seems to be from Intel
  drivers).

  The rest of the system worked fine, I could SSH into it and restart
  Xorg. I had an (html5) Youtube video playing in Firefox when the
  lockup happened, I'll try to see if that was the culprit (I switched a
  few times to text console and back after restarting X and all was
  fine, but I didn't have a video running)
