Thank you for taking the time to report this crash and helping to make this software better. This particular crash has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #1427382, so is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Please continue to report any other bugs you may find.

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

[agent 8131 (agent-8131)]

Since Bug #1427382 is missing I removed the status as a duplicate. I've been wrestling with this bug since the 15.04 upgrade. I'm not used to a linux desktop environment being so unstable. My similarities with above: compiz, intel graphics (stack trace shows intel_drv.so). I see this when using spotify most often.

Alexander Ufimtsev, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/latitude-d630/drivers/advanced an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A19). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.
