Symptoms: (1) Greeter / Login screen unresponsive for 5..10s, (2) After logon, desktop unresponsive for 5..60s before panels etc. show up and mouse pointer appears, (3) (1) and (2) occasionally accompanied by Pulseaudio causing up to 100% CPU load (4) Kernel panic at shutdown/restart or when attempting to kill pulseaudio (1) and (2) happen approx. 8 out of 10 times. switching to tty while desktop is unresponsive, top shows high cpu load for pulseaudio. kill -9 of pulseaudio causes kernel panic in most of the cases. Also, "pulseaudio -k" causes kernel panic. Kernel panic also occurs on each system shutdown/restart. When deactivating onboard sound in BIOS, (1)-(3) do not occur, but (4) still happens. After removing pulseaudio (incl. associated packages) via apt-get, all of the above symptoms are gone. Switching kernels makes no difference. Ubuntu 12.04.4 (Kernels 3.12.13 and earlier, pulseaudio 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.4) is running fine on the same hardware. I've attached a camera screenshot of one of the panics. Please let me know how I can help debugging this issue. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 apt-cache policy pulseaudio pulseaudio: Installed: 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 Candidate: 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 Version table: *** 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315669/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
