Thanks Bryce for your swift response. I'll try to answer your questions as best as possible:
1. The machine was running 11.10 before, but I completely wiped the root partition (I always do this due to bad past experiences with 'upgrades'). I never had any use for sync in the past, so I never tried. 2. Indeed, it was 11.10. Same machine. I did make a dd copy of the 11.10 root partition, so if it would be helpful I could restore that at some point. 3. Not always, no. The last time it happened I was busy filing a bug report on some other nasty things I ran into (12.04 has been a *very* bad experience on this machine so far) 4. Pfew... that's a hard one. It seems to happen quite randomly, although I do notice the system load is constantly between 0.5 and 1.5 (which, even on a quadcore i5, still seems quite high when just a couple of browser tabs and gedit are open). System monitor somehow is not showing what's causing this load, even when I show the processes of all users and sort by CPU %. I will keep an eye on the system though and as soon as it happens again I will try to remember exactly what I was doing. Perhaps I should keep a desktop recorder running... Do you happen to know any which would be suitable for this? GTKrecordmydesktop will probably not do since it encodes the video *after* the user has hit the 'stop' button. 5. Ok, I will install sshd on the machine and try to connect to it from my laptop when it freezes again. Problem is, last time it froze it also automatically rebooted after a few minutes. I hope that was a on-time quirk, otherwise I will have to move very fast. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975083 Title: [sandybridge-gt1] GPU lockup while using 'Sync Between Computers' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/975083/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
