[Bug 1367870] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 system with Radeon HD 6330M hangs regularly, especially when using Google Chrome

 

Unfortunately it looks like you pointed me at the wrong BIOS update
version. Based on the MSN number on the back of my PC (10011367) I
should have flashed it with the one at
http://www.medion.com/gb/service/_lightbox/treiber_details.php?did=8289.
My fault for not double-checking your recommendation I guess.  Still
trying to recover the machine:(.

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 system with Radeon HD 6330M hangs regularly, especially
  when using Google Chrome

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm reporting this bug at the request of kbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx at
  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357#c34 .
  Please see https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404357
  for details.  The appropriate package for this bug might be xserver-
  xorg-video-ati but that's a guess.

  Summary:
  Using Google Chrome 36+ on an ubuntu 14.04 system with  an AMD Radeon HD 6330M graphics card has been regularly causing system hangs.  These appear to be particularly likely when playing Flash-based games such as those on Facebook.  Scroll up and down using the vertical scrollbar or the mousewheel and chrome will segfault.

  WORKAROUND: Use fglrx.
