2011-01-29 08:42:08 Cliff description I've got this all typed in and I see in dmesg that there are some CD read errors. I have seen these before with what appear to be incorrectly created squashfs CD's. The panic / oops may indeed be caused by a CD error. This is when running the i386 Natty (11.04) daily live (development) CD dated I believe 2011-01-27 on a very stable Dual core (Intel 925 dual core (AMD64 capable), P4M800PRO, 2 gigs, Asus Geforce 3 AGP) system that I just want to get better OpenGL running on. (Hoping to find better OpenGL support in Natty.) It happened as the desktop was coming up. No icons or task bars appeared before the error, but the background had been painted for perhaps 30 seconds (wild guess). This system exhibits the "no human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU type" issue at boot up into this live Natty CD and I had to use "nomce" in the kernel boot options line to get past it. I also recall that with previous kernels on Lucid (AMD64) this stable system always generates an MCE at 300 seconds after boot in dmesg. I researched it before and didn't find anything useful. I use this system for 12 hours every day (with Maverick lately) and have no lockups or corruptions at all. With the Natty daily CD, this system also exhibits the "it seems you do not have the hardware requirements to run unity" issue, perhaps because it has an old monitor that these later kernels (at least the later ones, maybe the earlier ones too) have a hard time finding the EDID on. On my hard drive upgrade from Lucid to Maverick I had to make an xorg.conf with some horizontal and vertical monitor timing ranges before it would let me use a reasonable screen resolution and refresh rate. In Maverick, the refresh rate was 0 before this and (I forget the tool) said it got an EDID error trying to get info from the monitor. Looking at dmesg, I see that I have an easycap (video to USB adapter) plugged in (with no video source though). The easycap device works fine under previous versions of Ubuntu (sourceforge driver). I notice though that it was detected as the FOUR-CVBS (4 video input) hardware version which is incorrect if that matters. It is the single CVBS version. If I had to guess at possible causes, I would point first to the CD read errors (that I now see in the dmesg) (I need to retest reading the CD on this drive from my stable Maverick), then to the benign MCE that always happened at 300 seconds (at least with earlier Ubuntus) and I suspect that is related to the "no human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU type" that I now get with this Natty development version. This is the first time I have tried the early Natty.
