I have ubuntu 12.04 and the latest and greatest nv driver 4.304.43 and my E6510 Dell still suffers on crashes. Crashes which can be aborted, any reisub methods... only poweroff button helps. Here are my downtimes till time when I'm using a 12.04:
crash 2012-07-20 22:26:26 -> up 2012-07-20 22:29:49 = 00:03:23 (203 s) crash 2012-08-07 21:05:38 -> up 2012-08-07 21:19:29 = 00:13:51 (831 s) crash 2012-08-07 22:37:09 -> up 2012-08-07 22:40:40 = 00:03:31 (211 s) crash 2012-08-12 17:36:20 -> up 2012-08-12 18:20:58 = 00:44:38 (2678 s) crash 2012-08-16 10:27:22 -> up 2012-08-16 10:33:18 = 00:05:56 (356 s) crash 2012-08-21 19:37:52 -> up 2012-08-21 19:38:14 = 00:00:22 (22 s) crash 2012-09-01 23:14:06 -> up 2012-09-01 23:17:22 = 00:03:16 (196 s) crash 2012-09-19 10:53:17 -> up 2012-09-19 10:55:38 = 00:02:21 (141 s) so laptop crashes very often... and hardly can be runnable during 2 weeks without crash.. (I'm using suspend/resume to my laptop).. :-( So I think that 304.43 are different then from ubuntu 12.04 package but still is unusable and unstable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033263 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 freezes with nvidia drivers Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After activiting Nvidia drivers complete freezes (only hard reset works). Mouse cursor moves, all else seems to come to an instant halt. Hardware: Acer Aspire 7520, Geforce 8400m G (shared memory). (Re)installing Nouveau drivers 'solves' the problem. Newer Nvidia drivers from PPA unsucceslful as well (same problem). Laptop works like a charm with 11.10 and nvidia drivers.
