[Bug 412907] [NEW] X crashes and system is only responsive via sys-req on keyboard

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have tried to report this bug at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341363 where I was
told to report a separate bug.

I am running Jaunty (fully up-to-date as of 13th July 2009) 64 bit version. My kern.log file shows alot of
[drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 6
messages just before my system crashes.

My system is crashing in this way (on average) at least once a day at
the moment. I believe these messages in the kern.log file are the last
messages produced before such a crash.

When such a crash happens the graphics system is totally unresponsive,
alt-ctr-backspace twice does not restart x (dont-zap disabled). When I
try to get to a virtual terminal say Ctr-F1 - nothing happens. I can use
sys-req to restart the system. I can ssh in to the machine and sound etc
still works. Trying to restart gdm via /etc/init.d/gdm restart fails. In
the end I restart using sys-req.

This bug is making Ubuntu totally unusable right now. I am pretty sure
it due to the Intel graphic driver. I will attach logs of various
command in the next posts.
