Description Diogo 2015-07-27 16:29:40 UTC
I'm using debian jessie 8.1 and running the Chromium browser, even after a while hangs not only the browser as the entire system, and to restart the machine, entering a tty.
Once I realized this, it opens a terminal with the command "journalctl -f" to the log monitor, and also the command "tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log" to monitor the X log output, entratando I only have one line from the log and dmesg nothing more:

Jul 26 18:39:45 debian kernel: [drm: i915_hangcheck_elapsed] * ERROR * Hangcheck elapsed timer ... render ring idle

Monitoring with journalctl and dmesg only have this single line and nothing else, in Xorg.0.log files does not leave any rows.

I was using Gnome and also had these problems with more frequency, but I thought it is the fault of interface, entretando see that it's not, it's probably a kernel bug.

I also tried the Arch Wiki tips, but to no avail
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics

I leave here the result of the lspci command, if necessary.

We seem to have neglected this bug. Apologies.

If the problem persists with latest kernels, please file a bug at the freedesktop.org bugzilla [1], referencing this bug. Thank you.
