Computer freezes/crashes while using GNOME

[Germán Poo-Caamaño]

I think I have two issues (may related) with the Intel driver for my graphic card. Sometimes the text is shown as garbage, and every other day (after suspending) it crashes. As I have not figure out what is the SysRq magic key is in this new laptop (Lenovo x250), I can only recover control on my computer after pressing the power off button.

I cannot go to a vt. No nothing. I hope the follow call trace is related to that, although it should not be there in any case :-)

Please:

1. If this bug is a duplicate of bug #1507255, please mark it as such.
2. Anyway, set this bug status back to "confirmed".

Thank you.

[Germán Poo-Caamaño (gpoo)]

I set it back to Confirmed as this bug mainly is a crash report, with a kernel stacktrace. The stacktrace may help a developer to see where the issue is.

The other bug is only about the garbage text, something I mentioned that may be related, but it may be not and just be coincidence.

Anyhow, I will test the setting suggested there (to fallback from SNA to UXA), and see whether I can get a crash report in the following days. Otherwise, I will try back to SNA and test the same again.

[Germán Poo-Caamaño (gpoo)]

This bug seems related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88012

As I can reproduce it after setting the parameters to save energy using powertop.

[Tal Liron (emblem-parade)]

Some people think it's this kernel bug, related to Intel Bay Trail:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051

The workaround is to boot your kernel with the following parameter:

intel_idle.max_cstate=1

(Add it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, and then run update-grub).
