And again, and again, and again. And once more, re-plugging the external monitor caused an unrecoverable freeze (meaning that neither ctrl+alt+f1 nor unplugging and replugging the monitor would fix the issue) forcing me to a hard power off.
For god's sake when is this going to be looked at, at least to set the importance to critical? Where's the place to report nvidia driver bugs upstream, by the way? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353620 Title: Laptop Screen systematically freezes every few minutes when external screen disconnected; Ctlr+Alt+F1,Ctrl+Alt+F7 fixes the issue. Then system unrecoverably freezes when external screen reconnected (needs hard reboot) Status in “nvidia-driver” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've started observing this bug since i've started using NVidia's additional drivers (yesterday). Before that I was using nouveau, which happened to use the builtin Intel GPU and not the NVidia card. I have an external monitor which I usually connect to the laptop. I have it configured so it's the only screen when it's connected. When I unplug it, automatically the laptop's builtin screen turns on, and when I plug it, the laptop's builtin screen turns off. This has worked just fine until yesterday. Then I switched to NVidia's proprietary drivers. Now the problem, 100% systematically reproducible, is as follows: - I disconnect the external screen (and external keyboard and mouse), move my laptop and start using it alone. At the beginning everything works fine, then: - from time to time (every few minutes), the system seems to freeze: - mouse cursor doesn't move. Nothing responds to touchpad movements or clicks - nothing apparently responds to keystrokes, such as alt+tab to switch window, or Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal. I'm not sure this ever happened while I was typing and had a focused window where to type, so I cannot tell for sure it wouldn't respond to typing - no signs of abnormal CPU consumption, though, nor of disk activity - hitting ctlr+Alt+F1 does work and immediately brings the virtual console - hitting ctrl+Alt+F7 brings the graphics screen again and it works, that is, it fixes the issue, reesstablishing normal functioning - unless it happens again. The first time I observed it (this is the second), this also happened: - then I plug in the external monitor again. It turns on, shows the screen output as expected; the builtin screen turns off, everything looks normal - except the system is frozen again - and this time not even Ctrl+Alt+F1 work. Completely frozen. No way out except a hard reboot - unplugging the external monitor doesn't fix the issue, either ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-32.57-generic 3.13.11.4 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 331.38 Wed Jan 8 19:32:30 PST 2014 GCC version: gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 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: Wed Aug 6 19:51:09 2014 DistUpgraded: 2014-05-24 19:43:23,984 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.7, 3.13.0-32-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-331, 331.38, 3.13.0-32-generic, x86_64: installed vboxhost, 4.3.14, 3.13.0-32-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0647] NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] [10de:1140] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] GeForce 710M [1025:0691] InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-11 (299 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: Acer Aspire V3-571G ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=5830b30e-69e8-4bb4-8a2b-bc2b43c7414a ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg-server UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-05-24 (74 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 10/15/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Acer dmi.bios.version: V2.07 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: VA50_HC_CR dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: Type2 - Board Version dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.version: V2.07 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAcer:bvrV2.07:bd10/15/2012:svnAcer:pnAspireV3-571G:pvrV2.07:rvnAcer:rnVA50_HC_CR:rvrType2-BoardVersion:cvnAcer:ct10:cvrV2.07: dmi.product.name: Aspire V3-571G dmi.product.version: V2.07 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.11.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.52-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.1 version.nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-graphics-drivers N/A version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.8.2-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 xserver.bootTime: Wed Aug 6 15:19:13 2014 xserver.configfile: /etc/X11/xorg.conf xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-driver/+bug/1353620/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
