Nouveau makes it worse. When I start Android Studio, Firefox immediately grays out, AS stops loading before it even opens a window. Then the computer remains frozen, until I stop java processes in a shell. Also, I don't see how a graphics issue can make CPU2 or CPU3 hang, but never one of the other CPUs.
It can't be just a bug in Android Studio, because AS should not be capable of hanging up my computer. Also, it can't be just a bug in Ubuntu or in the bios or cpu, because it only happens with Android Studio (except once in gedit and once in a shell). I suspect AS does something other software doesn't do, which triggers a glitch elsewhere. Yesterday night, I ran Prime95 software to calculate Mersenne prime numbers. This kept my cpus at 500% with low priority processes. All software would still run normally, not slower, but AS wouldn't run. It pushed prime to using over 600%, which is weird, and it wouldn't start, just hang until killed. I tried Prime95 because they found a glitch in Intel Skylake cpus. My cpu is 5th generation, not Skylake. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1531845 Title: Xorg freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1531845/+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
