[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting
Updated all packages of the system (I think there was also an update of lightdm) yesterday. Using the update manager which is now gone?!? Today I've installed 304.134 (not -updates) --> no freeze until now. Reboot / Cold start. Still works like it should until now. I'll keep it like that an will report if there is a freeze. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The system was running ubuntu 12.04 without any problems, quite fast and definitly worth keeping, I was able to play 3D games at decent quality while using official nvidia drivers. Overall a pretty stable system based on an Intel 965 Chipset and a Geforce 7600. I did a clean install of 16.04 and added nvidia-graphics- drivers-304-updates. At first the system was horribly unstable, displayed garbage at the slighted GPU load, even starting frozen bubble in full screen made lightdm restart. After using "dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false" the system became stable but display is still often distorted, missing picture elements, doesn't draw all elements in firefox, scrolling of firefox and terminal output is missing parts. This happens around once every minute so it is still workable but unprofessional. Happens a lot more often in Firefox than any other application. Also I have the feeling lots of stuff is working a lot slower than it did in 12.04, e.g. starting frozen bubble in full screen takes a lot longer than earlier.

The new 304.132 driver appears to be broken in 16.10 main and 16.04 ppa (won't insmod, missing mtrr symbols).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting
Before it worked I tried a lot of different approach. Manually disabling nouveau before installing the driver, etc. Here are some steps I did: (I cant remember the specific order and don't know which had played a decisive role. Maybe I had a different problem) - installing the chip set driver (amd64-microcode) - sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* - compiled and tested nvidia driver installer by myself (failed to install) - added following to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf blacklist nouveau blacklist lbm-nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 alias nouveau off alias lbm-nouveau off - echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf - sudo update-initramfs -u - sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf - echo 'nouveau' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules Hope it helps someone.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting
scrub my comment #11. i have NOT tested the new driver - the build in the graphics-drivers ppa doesn't insmod on 16.04 with kernel 4.4 and my system fell back to nouveau without me realising. i will test again when a working build is available. as for switching to nvidia-304 (instead of -updates), this did not resolve the problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The system was running ubuntu 12.04 without any problems, quite fast and definitly worth keeping, I was able to play 3D games at decent quality while using official nvidia drivers. Overall a pretty stable system based on an Intel 965 Chipset and a Geforce 7600. I did a clean install of 16.04 and added nvidia-graphics- drivers-304-updates. At first the system was horribly unstable, displayed garbage at the slighted GPU load, even starting frozen bubble in full screen made lightdm restart. After using "dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false" the system became stable but display is still often distorted, missing picture elements, doesn't draw all elements in firefox, scrolling of firefox and terminal output is missing parts. This happens around once every minute so it is still workable but unprofessional. Happens a lot more often in Firefox than any other application. Also I have the feeling lots of stuff is working a lot slower than it did in 12.04, e.g. starting frozen bubble in full screen takes a lot longer than earlier. I think this error is somewhere between nvidia drivers, compiz and firefox.

I think I can now reliably produce this bug: Install Ubuntu on a System with official NVidia-Drivers whith the graphics older than G80 and system becomes unstable as written above. Tested on: 1. Core2 with Geforce 7600 2. Pentium M with Geforce 6400M 3. Pentium 4 with Geforce 6800 AGP 4. Athlon X2 with Geforce 6600 A short test on the Core2 and Pentium4 with a Geforce 640 showed the problem is related to the old graphic board. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The system was running ubuntu 12.04 without any problems, quite fast and definitly worth keeping, I was able to play 3D games at decent quality while using official nvidia drivers.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1579501] Re: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting
I'm having similar issues. The PC in question has Geforce 6100 onboard graphics. It was previously running Ubuntu 14.04 without any issues. I then upgraded the install to 16.04. With nouveau, the system doesn't run stable. As soon as there is a little bit of load, I get diagonal stripes on the monitor (see http://i.imgur.com/X3Am8U2.jpg) and it appears to lock up (can't switch to text console either). I tried a fresh install of 16.04, switching from i686 to amd-x64 in the process. The lockups with the diagonal stripes remain. So I tried nvidia-304 instead. Lots of problems there. First I get X11 with just the desktop and no menus and launchers. Then I got black screen with just the mouse pointer. Currently, I get a desktop but with massive screen corruption. I am also getting the errors that were reported in comment #2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The system was running ubuntu 12.04 without any problems, quite fast and definitly worth keeping, I was able to play 3D games at decent quality while using official nvidia drivers.

Overall a pretty stable system based on an Intel 965 Chipset and a Geforce 7600. I did a clean install of 16.04 and added nvidia-graphics- drivers-304-updates. At first the system was horribly unstable, displayed garbage at the slighted GPU load, even starting frozen bubble in full screen made lightdm restart. After using "dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false" the system became stable but display is still often distorted, missing picture elements, doesn't draw all elements in firefox, scrolling of firefox and terminal output is missing parts. This happens around once every minute so it is still workable but unprofessional. Happens a lot more often in Firefox than any other application. Also I have the feeling lots of stuff is working
