[Fredrik Normann (smartypants)]

I can trigger the bug by starting Liebre Office Calc

[Glop (jul-bzh)]

Same for me, the bug is triggered by Libreoffice 5.1

[FM33 (foxxm)]

This bug is much worst in 16.04 than it used to be 14.04 :
Happens very often and freezes the system completely 4 times of 5 instead of just hang display for 30 seconds.

[Cyril Jaquier (cyril-jaquier)]

I get this almost every time after resume. Sometimes I can switch to a VT and restart Xorg but sometimes only Magic SysRq work to reboot the laptop. I have never see this issue on this laptop before (14.04 worked just fine).

[Marcin Sochacki (wanted)]

For me it is 100% reproducible with LibreOffice, especially when one quits LO uncleanly and then on the next run it opens a dialog asking about file recovery. Whatever I click in that dialog, LibreOffice will hang for a while and then the whole X session is restarted.

[Marcin Sochacki (wanted)]

New finding: installing xserver-xorg-video-intel actually solved the problem for me, LibreOffice is no longer causing Xorg to crash. Previously I think Xorg was working using modesetting driver instead of intel, though I might be wrong.

My HW: Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 on FUJITSU LIFEBOOK E754.

[Glop (jul-bzh)]

Installing xserver-xorg-video-intel also solved the problem for me.

HW: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller.

(thanks Marcin!)

[Kris (kmbroga)]

Can confirm: installing xserver-xorg-video-intel solves the problem even with nvidia 650m optimus (intel running via bumblebee)

FM33, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Could you please provide the missing information following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze ?

[Gregory Burd (gregburd)]

Looks like this just had a patch submitted and accepted to Freedesktop bug.

[jap1968 (jap1968)]

Same problem here. I rarely had this problem previously with Ubuntu 14.04, but since updated to Ubuntu 16.04 I am suffering this issue very often.

The problem mainly appears when trying to resume the laptop from suspend. Mine has already installed xserver-xorg-video-intel. The laptop has an intel HD Graphics 4400 video adapter, the one integrated within the Core i7-4510U CPU

$ lspci

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)

[penalvch (penalvch)]

jap1968, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with Ubuntu by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information running the following from a terminal:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Also, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

For more on why this is helpful, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

[Karl Kastner (kastner-karl)]

For me, this also sometimes happens after suspending. Then, characters are not anymore displayed and I have to restart the display manager with ctrl-backspace. This problem emerged over the last year, so probably a regression bug.
