@Christopher M Penalver - hi, I've been trying out the latest daily Raring 13.04 build with the Nouveau driver. As with all five previous versions of Ubuntu I've had installed on this machine, it makes my system rather unstable (using NVidia GT215/GT240 graphics card btw) resulting in hard reboots being required within minutes of loading the Desktop.
Whether this is related to the the bug using the NVidia binary blob I can't say, as I'm not seeing much in the log files that means anything to me. The "end-user experience" however is identical - the screen locks up, keyboard and mouse become unresponsive, I (usually) can't ctrl+alt+F5 etc, meaning I have to do a cold reboot via the on/off button. The only clues I can see right now are in the syslog file - I've attached the latest example for this crash. In this case, my machine was on for 19 minutes before the crash. I believe things started to go wrong at 00:58:19, and then at 00:58:51 I get: "Feb 10 00:58:51 COOLERMASTER kernel: [ 1506.331437] nouveau E[ DRM] GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon" Unfortunately, I can't really offer any more than that at this stage... ** Attachment added: "syslog.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1077616/+attachment/3522665/+files/syslog.txt -- 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/1077616 Title: 10de:0ca3 (EE) [mi] EQ overflowing.

Penalver (penalvch) - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx- installer/+bug/1063156) Random hard locks on fresh installs of Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit), requiring hard reboot. Keyboard is unresponsive, and unable to Ctrl+Alt+F5 etc. This happens with any Desktop environment (GNOME, Cinnamon, KDE). Using NVidia GT240 with NVidia binary blob. This appears to be no pattern to when this happens - can be using any application. Happens several times per day.
