[Bug 438346] [NEW] [jaunty, karmic] X freezes every day or so

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I'm sorry I can't provide more detailed information.  I haven't yet been
able to track down any specific trigger for the freeze.  The mouse
cursor still moves, but the screen is otherwise unchanging and
unresponsive to keyboard input or mouse clicks.  If the mouse cursor was
displaying a "busy" icon then it continues doing so.  I cannot switch to
a console or kill X with C-A-Backspace.  The capslock LED does not
respond either.  I can SSH in to the frozen machine with no problem; a
GPU trace obtained thereby will be attached below.  I tried running
"ubuntu-bug xorg" via ssh into the frozen machine, but it ran for an
hour and a half outputting lots of dots, so I gave up and killed it; let
me know if I should try letting it run for longer.  Killing or
restarting X from ssh causes the screen to blank, but it remains
unresponsive to mouse and keyboard.  Rebooting from the SSH connection
does work and does bring up the ubuntu "shutting down" splash screen
briefly.

The applications I usually have open are firefox, emacs22-gtk,
thunderbird, and gnome-terminal.  The freezes tend to happen every day
or two on average, often when I'm in the middle of editing a file in
emacs (which I spend a lot of time doing), but sometimes while I'm using
thunderbird (e.g. opening a folder) or firefox (e.g. loading a web
page).  As far as I know all the freezes have happened after at least
one suspend/resume, but I rarely run for very long without a
suspend/resume.  The freezes started happening with the upgrade to
jaunty, and are still happening with current karmic alpha.  Compiz is
not installed.

Let me know if there is additional information I can provide or
additional testing I can do to help.
