Based off of the number of duplicates, and myself experiencing this, I'm marking this as confirmed.

I just had this happen with my Lenovo x200s, with an Intel GMA 4500.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I just ran into this on a hardy->lucid upgrade on a i830 gpu

[Odin Hørthe Omdal (velmont)]

I ran into this.

After 20-30 minutes my screen becomes totally BLANK. The screen reports «check your cables», and I do. The machine still runs, so I think there's a kernel error that causes it. And afterwards I get this bug when it's trying to report the other (real) bug.

Thanks Jan, I put in a slightly modified version of the patch. Since we're frozen for the beta release it will be a day or two before it shows up in the archive I guess.

This has happened to me a few times in the past couple days. I have a Sony Vaio i686 running Lucid Alpha 3 with integrated Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML graphics. Also happened when I closed the lid of my laptop to suspend. The computer comes back in graphics safe mode. This pops up along with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/447159

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.9.1-1ubuntu16

---------------
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.9.1-1ubuntu16) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/apport-gpu-error-intel.py:
    + Better fix for checking MachineType and other parameters to
      be defined before using them in bug report titles. Thanks Jan!

It says this bug was fixed in xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1ubuntu16, but I am experiencing the bug with that exact version installed.

[hpis2cool (hpis2cool)]

Same as S. Christian Collins. Also experiencing this bug with the new version. I use a Toshiba Satellite laptop.

[candtalan (aeclist)]

I am using Live CD beta1, and got this crash immediately on booting up live.

[Wayne Crannell (caruso81)]

I just got this same thing today on a MacBook 2,1 after an install from Karmic to Lucid (formatted first)

-Install from Live CD
-Drop into terminal from GRUB
-Update/Upgrade (300+ changes)
-Reboot
-After 10 seconds on the desktop, I get: "Sorry, the program apport-gpu-error-intel.py closed unexpectedly."
-An attempt to "Report Problem" in the dialog window resulted in a "Collecting Information" progress screen for about 10 seconds and then a black screen crash.

I can reproduce this repeatedly. Booting the LiveCD does NOT produce this behavior.

Can I disable this driver (or whatever it is) at boot?

[Wayne Crannell (caruso81)]

UPDATE (in answer to my own question)

SInce it appears to be an Intel driver issue, I booted into recovery mode and deleted:

 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so

Booted right up (very fast) and has been running for about 10 minutes.

[jflaming (jay-flaming)]

I had the same error, fresh install from release cd. Live cd will not display, but I installed server, then ubuntu-desktop, and it would not work. Deleted the intel_drv.so file, and now it works, but only in vesa mode.

/usr/share/apport/apport-gpu-error-intel.py on every boot it also crashes my laptop most of the time ---emachines e732--
