Minecraft crashes on ubuntu system [closed]

System Specs:

Intel DH55HC
Intel core i3-550 @ 3.2 GHZ

using Java JVM not openjdk.

Minecraft works for a while but then it crashes, so I upgraded to 11.04 and graphcs are all choping and the crashes still happen.

Link to debug logs.

Crashes are caused often by: Driver issues, not enough ram, bug in minecraft. Try increasing the amount of ram available to java with these options: -Xms512M -Xmx1024M

As an intellectual curiosity, it appears this likely might be related to a buggy driver for the intel i915 video chip in the CPU in the 2.6.36 kernel line, solved in the 2.6.37 version. There are a lot of reports online to be found including those who receive the exact same error. Apparently to do with trying to use XVideo, or really any other graphical work. It's related to a lack of maintenance on graphics drivers where they will not do certain things the kernel expects of them, only triggered in a 3d context.

Some links where people discuss this bug:

• https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/554835
• https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236869
• https://bugs.gentoo.org/320343

The kernel folks over at intel have since fixed the issue. See also:

• https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16488

Whence updating these kernel-integrated drivers by updating the kernel (moving to a more modern version of Ubuntu, or manually switching out the kernel, or even manually compiling in the fix from the bugzilla above) will resolve this issue.
