I think this is the actual log from the crash. Each crash is associated with the following dmesg log:

[25885.947694] [drm:i915_gem_execbuffer2] *ERROR* copy 1 exec entries failed 56

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

bryce suggested I disable nouveau driver and see if that made a difference - it does not.

[Chris Wilson (ickle)]

Ultimately the answer will be not to use that broken kernel. But in the meantime, if you can get that stacktrace parsed I can see where I'm mishandling the fallback.

[Chris Wilson (ickle)]

Actually as it is a SIGBUS not SIGSEGV, the issue lies entirely within the 3.2 kernel.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

As far as I can tell I am using the standard raring kernel - is there a new kernel coming that fixes this?

[Chris Wilson (ickle)]

The log files say that you are running with kernel v3.2, raring is on v3.8...

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Oh ack. It appears the metapackage got removed in some dist-upgrade. Confirmed fixed in 3.8.
