Here's the full journalctl log for livecd debugging session I reported above.
It appears that nautilus was totally hanging because I failed to ever open any file manager windows even after waiting for a long time. Firefox did eventually start and started to work until I tried to open file picker to attach a file to this bug - after that Firefox never recovered either. ** Attachment added: "sudo journalctl --since "2 days ago" after trying to investigate the issue and switching virtual terminals many times" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1950088/+attachment/5538674/+files/2021-11-07-journalctl.full.log -- 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/1950088 Title: jammy: noveau driver hangs for minutes when Firefox is started (live cd/usb, MacBookPro6,2) Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried to use nightly build of Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) on an old MacBook Pro and if I start with failsafe graphics everything seems to work really well. However, if I boot with default livecd configuration the GPU will hang when I try to launch Firefox. According to journalctl logs it appears that noveau driver or kernel DRM hangs for a long time and the computer appears totally frozen. I can still switch to terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Fn-F3 and waiting a couple of minutes. Waiting for a long time (maybe 10 minutes) the system appears to work correctly again without rebooting the system.
