[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#710047: Total System Freeze when Using LibreOffice caused by Xorg on Intel Core i7-2630QM

[Toon Macharis]

Dear,

(I am replying directly via email since reportbug does not connect to
smtp.gmail.com:465)

My system randomly freezes when using LibreOffice.
It seems to happen sporadically (after several minutes, hours) when using
LibreOffice Writer.
It may happen after a couple of seconds when using LibreOffice Calc.

1. System

My CPU is an Intel Core i7-2630QM.  (Dell XPS L502X)

I disabled the NVidea Optimus graphic card and am using the integrated
Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphic card.

To disable the NVidea Optimus graphic card, I blacklisted the nouveau
driver:

  sudo sh -c 'echo "blacklist nouveau" >
/etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf'

and I installed bbswitch-dkms from Wheezy backports as follows:

  sudo -s
  aptitude install dkms
  aptitude install bbswitch-dkms
  echo "bbswitch load_state=0" >> /etc/modules
  update-initramfs -u

2. Logs

The logs that seem to contain errors are:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
/var/log/gdm3/:0.log.1
/var/log/gdm3/:0-greeter.log.1
/var/log/gdm3/:0-slave.log.1

The logs are attached with their full contents.
