I understand that people are *** off by this bug, but keep in mind this bug is not the fault of Canonical or any of the ubuntu developers, this bug actually is the result of the developers at freedesktop/intel pushing their broken code into the mainline kernel release and only (partially) fixing it for the latest (4.12) release (see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99295).
I found that even with the patch(es) mentioned in the bugreport here and at freedesktop there are still freezes (though less often) (and even on 4.12 (ubuntu mainline) I still have freezes relating to the i915 kernel module) and they probably will also still occur when using CentOS, OpenSuse or any other Linux based distro with kernel 4.10+. Instead of (non constructive and negatively voiced) reports here I suggest going to the source of the problem and complain there that it is unacceptable that such a major issue has not (yet) resulted in a full revert of the changes that caused it (or a proper fix for all affected kernel versions). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1680904 Title: zesty unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1680904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
