[18:11] <ronj> Hi. After doing yesterday's upgrade, using Ctrl+Alt+L as shortcut to 'Lock screen' no longer works. Mildly reminiscent of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1242423 , is it a known issue / should I re-open the bug or create a new one? Thanks!

[20:13] <plasmasolutions> Hi guys, thanks so much for making this distro ... I love it!
[20:14] <plasmasolutions> But I got a big problem since I upgraded my hardware 3 days ago: Freezes (inkl. kernel panic) when the video thumbnailer runs over some h264 files
[20:14] <plasmasolutions> Have you got any idea how I could track down the issue?
[20:15] <plasmasolutions> It's not only in GUbuntu but also in other ubuntu flavours...didn't try mandriva yet
[20:37] <Noskcaj> plasmasolutions, What was the hardware change?
[20:39] <plasmasolutions> Noskcaj: I changed from my intel i7 860 to a new haswell i7 4770k
[20:39] <plasmasolutions> and the mobo too
[20:39] <plasmasolutions> http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z87%20Killer/
[20:40] <Noskcaj> Good motherboard, but for that drastic a change, you really need to re-install, as with any other OS
[20:40] <plasmasolutions> I'm doing animations, so I needed a board with two GPUs and many sata
[20:40] <plasmasolutions> Noskcaj: Yeah, thought the same
[20:40] <plasmasolutions> So I made a complete fresh install after this crash happened
[20:41] <plasmasolutions> and the problem persisted
[20:41] <Noskcaj> Strange.
[20:41] <plasmasolutions> Then I tried a live distro ... downloaded blender, opened a file from my seperate home dir and ... freeze
[20:41] <Noskcaj> Have you reported a bug or at least seen what the crash was?
[20:41] <plasmasolutions> In a live distro!
[20:42] <plasmasolutions> So I'm really at the end of my idea line now
[20:42] <Noskcaj> So it's either a hardware issue or some big kernal panic.

[20:42] <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1270655 in x264 (Ubuntu) "System freeze (kernel panic) while decoding H264 files" [Undecided,New]
[20:42] <plasmasolutions> That is my report
[20:43] <plasmasolutions> I guess: While decoding h264, the hardware decoder and the motherboard are not communicating nicely
[20:43] <plasmasolutions> therefore it's crashing
[20:44] <plasmasolutions> But as I said, that's guessed
[20:44] <Noskcaj> I don't really know what to do, but a few suggestions: Run memtest, try a live cd of 14.04 daily
[20:45] <Noskcaj> try with 1 gpu
[20:45] <plasmasolutions> Noskcaj: Did it, no issues after one day
[20:46] <plasmasolutions> Noskcaj: See, as a dev I try to be as logical as possible... but here I fail now.
[20:59] <Noskcaj> I'm pretty much out of ideas. Maybe try #ubuntu, and mention bug 1270655 , Since there's many more people there.

[21:03] <plasmasolutions> Noskcaj: I will thanks nevertheless for your help!
[21:03] <ricotz> plasmasolutions, try #ubuntu-x since this sounds intel-driver/mesa related
[21:04] <plasmasolutions> ricotz: But it's the same with gtx 560ti
[21:04] <ricotz> plasmasolutions, using nvidia-blob then?
[21:05] <plasmasolutions> ricotz: then yeah... but atm the card is out of the tower
[21:06] <plasmasolutions> just to make sure it is not the nvidia crap
[21:06] <plasmasolutions> and I tried it with the opensource driver too
[21:06] <plasmasolutions> always the same
[21:06] <ricotz> and you purged the nvidia driver now to be sure
[21:07] <ricotz> while this might be still interfere with a bumblebee/nvidia-prime setup
[21:09] <plasmasolutions> ricotz: no, I didn't
[21:09] <ricotz> plasmasolutions, you could start trying newer mainline kernels while this looks quite bleeding edge hardware
[21:09] <plasmasolutions> but I could
[21:09] <plasmasolutions> ricotz: Tried that too.. was installing the mainline 3.13
[21:10] <plasmasolutions> nothing was looking up
[21:10] <plasmasolutions> but it still was locking up ;)
[21:10] <ricotz> mention that there
[21:11] <plasmasolutions> in the bug report?
[21:12] <ricotz> to <tjaalton>
[21:13] <plasmasolutions> ricotz: Mentioned, tjaalton as a subscriber?
[21:14] <plasmasolutions> Done
[21:15] <ricotz> plasmasolutions, make sure to mention nvidia driver version too and you should try 331.38
[21:16] <ricotz> plasmasolutions, i didnt ask you to add him, you were already talking to him
[21:18] <plasmasolutions> ricotz: ;) Yeah, sorry, I misunderstood you!

[22:27] <plasmasolutions> am off now ricotz, thanks for your help!
[23:07] <darkxst> ronj are you seeing " Dropping signal AcceleratorActivated of type (uuu) since the type from the expected interface is (uu)" message in the gnome-settings-daemon.log?
