Anca Emanuel, as per http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68-VGS3%20FX/?cat=Download&os=BIOS an update is available for your BIOS (1.70). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.70 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Display artifacts, then freeze + 10de:0611 [ASRock N68-VGS3 FX] Display artifacts, then freeze ** Tags added: regression-potential -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254259 Title: 10de:0611 [ASRock N68-VGS3 FX] Display artifacts, then freeze Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Example: [22986.440239] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440242] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x020c data 0x00000014 [22986.440250] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440253] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0210 data 0x00000001 [22986.440261] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440264] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0214 data 0x00000000 [22986.440272] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440275] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x021c data 0x00000001 [22986.440284] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440287] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0318 data 0x00000050 [22986.440295] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440298] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0238 data 0x00000000 [22986.440307] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440310] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x023c data 0x00000000 [22986.440319] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440322] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x030c data 0x2032c000 [22986.440331] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440334] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0310 data 0x21008278 [22986.440342] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440345] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0218 data 0x00000000 [22986.440353] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440356] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x031c data 0x00000050 [22986.440374] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ILLEGAL_MTHD [22986.440377] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:02:00.0] ch 2 [0x001fae9000 Xorg[1093]] subc 0 class 0x0030 mthd 0x0320 data 0x00000014 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.12.0-3.9-generic 3.12.1 Uname: Linux 3.12.0-3-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.12.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sat Nov 23 13:39:27 2013 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GT] [10de:0611] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-11-23 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Alpha amd64 (20131122) Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub MachineType: To Be Filled By O.E.M.
