WORKAROUND:
(copied from Comment 7 for bug 833836 )
For all of you using oneiric, I suggest that you remove the following packages, as they should have been removed on upgrade:

at-spi
libatspi1.0-0
python-pyatspi

These packages should be replaced by the following, which should be installed:

at-spi2-core
libatspi2.0-0
gir1.2-atspi-2.0
libatk-adaptor
python-pyatspi2

I have this bug running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu.

[John Lenton (chipaca)]

I get this practically every day. I'm removing .*atspi.* from my system; if you need my help in digging this up you know where to find me.

[cwsnyder (carlwsnyder)]

My system was running with the older kernel because I get a halt at the point where the screen shows the power button is enabled running the 3.x kernel, and I never get to login. Running under Windows 7 32-bit WUBI, Xubuntu Session, update from 11.04 installation done Friday.

Any other information available needed?

Given number of folks seeing this, moving its priority up to high.

[Mark Overton (mark-markoverton)]

Upgrading to the Oneiric beta caused a number of crashes, this one included...for this particular problem, I went to Synaptic and re-installed everything I had already loaded under the search term "at-spi"...that took care of it...LibreOffice crashed because of the wrong version of Ubuntu installed, and I had to install LibreOffice manually(terminal mode)...that took care of it...This is the first upgrade I've done since I started with Jaunty that had any problems at all, and reinstalling the affected packages has fixed them...Hope this helps...

[Mark Overton (mark-markoverton)]

Noted under wrong bug...should be noted under 833136...Problem went away for 2 days, came back today...

[Mark Overton (mark-markoverton)]

Sorry....should be 833836...

Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633883

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

As we use at-spi2 mainly, this isn't as urgent as it might seem. Retargetting for SRU. Luke, can you please check the upstream fix for this?

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I targeted to P, but will this package be in P ? If I did a mistake then don't hesitate to close the task.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Moritz Naumann (mnaumann)]

Would it not make sense to apply the one line patch from last year, which is listed on the Gnome BTS to fix this in Ubuntu Oneiric (and possibly precise)?

[Mark Overton (mark-markoverton)]

My bad, Moritz...I applied a partial upgrade, not realizing what it did
to my dependencies...upgrading the dependencies took care of
it....Thanks for getting back to me...Mark

Dear team,
As I upgraded to the full version from beta version, there is no problem
now. Though some glitches are there regarding edubuntu, otherwise no
problem now , as I said.
Thanks for for the help and getting back to me...

I no longer experience crashes and everything is usable.
Thanks team!

[cwsnyder (carlwsnyder)]

I finally fixed my problem on WUBI and separate 11.10 install partition by adding kernel options to GRUB, ie.
acpi=off noapic nomodeset

Apparently my rig suffers from a regression on ACPI handling and the ATI Radeon Express 200 motherboard video, especially in the Linux Kernel 3.x strain.

[cwsnyder (carlwsnyder)]

Additional information which I noticed on my system:

I didn't notice in Ubuntu 10.10 or prior (back to 7.10), but 11.10 definitely complains that my BIOS is not setting the interrupts, and I can see the screen where it complains after trying several times that my EDID is not acceptable.

Don't know if this will help.

[Kate Stewart (kate.stewart)]

Based on the last duplicate, as of January this problem was still being seen in precise. Has anyone seen it since then?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

The old at-spi stack has been superseded by at-spi2 in precise, and thus this is not relevant for precise any more.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

oneiric has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the oneiric task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
