[gm45] GPU lockup (EIR: 0x00000010 ESR: 0x00000011 PGTBL_ER: 0x00000001 IPEHR: 0x01000000)

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On a Sony VAIO VGN-NW13F laptop with a single on-board Intel video chip and no external monitors running Lubuntu Natty amd64 in a Lubuntu Desktop session, a GPU lockup was reported by Apport to have occurred. This did not happen upon or shortly after login--I had logged on over 14 days previously, and the computer had not been hibernated or suspended in the intervening time. Furthermore, the vesa video driver (with which the i915 driver may have conflicted to produce this, had it been running) was not loaded, according to the output of lsmod. Therefore, while otherwise similar to bug 767475, this bug did not occur under similar circumstances. However, like in bug 767341, which is a duplicate of bug 767475, I was running VMware virtualization software when the crash occurred. Specifically, I was running VMware Workstation 7.1.4 build-385536, with a single virtual machine running. The virtual machine did not itself have graphics acceleration enabled, but I wouldn't expect that to be necessary for triggering this bug. Unlike bug 767341, I was not interacting with the virtual machine when the bug occurred, but I wouldn't expect that to be necessary either.

I am filing this report in case, upon further inspection, there is evidence that this is a separate bug, or valuable information not present in other reports. I will probably mark this a duplicate of bug 767475 shortly, after more closely examining the information automatically attached by Apport.
