Everything hangs when coming out of fullscreen in chrome

[Starbeamrainbowlabs]

If I have hardware acceleration enabled in my chrome settings (which it is automatically), my entire desktop freezes 9 times out of 10 when I come out of fullscreen mode. It doesn't matter whether it's with F11 or a video on a site such as YouTube. Strangely enough, the audio keeps on going.

If I disable hardware acceleration, then I don't experience this issue, but I can't use WebGL. My CPU usage also goes through the roof , heating my laptop up, and reducing my battery life.

If I switch to a different tty with CTRL+ALT.... and login it says that it can't connect to the X server or something. I don't particularly want to cause a another hang to find out either as a forceful shutdown may damage my filesystem(s).

I'm using Ubuntu Desktop 15.10 wily.

Here's my uname -a:

Linux Snowflake 4.2.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 8 15:35:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here's my chrome version information:

Google Chrome 48.0.2564.48 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Starbeamrainbowlabs, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To see if this is already resolved, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

@penalvh Ok. I'm downloading the latest 64 bit ISO now. My connection is rather slow though, so it could take a few hours to download. I'll report back after testing it.

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

@penalvch In a clean boot from the 64 ISO you linked me to I can't seem to replicate it. Perhaps this has something to do with my drivers? Or maybe it was fixed? I have no idea how I would go about checking those though.

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

@penalvch If what is installed?

Now that I'm not so tired, I can give some extra information. I tried it with a clean xenial daily build, in which I installed chrome and then tested it. It was probably an unfair test though, as chrome was pretty unusable due to some serious graphical glitches.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Starbeamrainbowlabs, is xenial still working if it is installed?

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

I don't know. Unfortunately I don't have anywhere that I can install it in order to test it.

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

I've looked into it some more (see issue #550091 in the chrome bug tracker), it seems to be much more likely to happen with a 60fps video than anything else. I'll have to try xenial again with this knowledge.

Link to chrome issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=550091#makechanges

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

@penalvch I've looked into it some some, and I can't seem to reproduce it on a xenial iso at all.

It may also be worth noting that I have both intel integrated graphics *and* an NVidia dedicated graphics chip (GE Force 550M). I'm not using the default graphics driver that come with ubuntu, because it causes terrible flickering, I see an unknown monitor in my settings, and it doesn't support one of my 2 graphics chips at all.

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

A backport to wily would be very helpful if it's possible.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Starbeamrainbowlabs, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

[1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

@penalvch I don't don't understand that procedure, so I'll just wait for the release of Xenial.

If I find that upgrading to xenial doesn't fix it, I'll report back here.

I'm on Version 48.0.2564.103 (64-bit) and still have problems with video acceleration. Just got Version 48.0.2564.103-1 in the updates, will test during the day

[userDepth (binarydepth)]

The HW acceleration is fixed in Version 48.0.2564.103-1 as of today. Latest stable. I tried on Youtube and Javascript based Fullscreen from Treehouse.

[Starbeamrainbowlabs (sbrl)]

@checoimg I agree it is better in the latest beta (version 49.0.2623.39 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)), but it still isn't fixed. It's happening one time in three for me still.

Here's my test video (bump the quality before testing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG8y1_y-kPw
