[Bug 607399] Re: Loading the nvidia driver causes kernel oops in maverick, natty
This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers -
285.05.09-0ubuntu1
---
nvidia-graphics-drivers (285.05.09-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Added support for the following GPU:
o GeForce GT 520MX
- Added support for xserver ABI 11 (xorg-server 1.11).
- Fixed a bug causing a Linux kernel BUG when retrieving
CPU information on some systems.
- Fixed a bug causing some applications to hang on exit.
- Fixed a bug causing flickering in some GPU/display
combinations.
- Fixed a bug that could result in poor OpenGL performance
after hotplugging a monitor.
- Fixed a bug causing possible text corruption when
recovering from GPU errors.
* debian/dkms.conf{.in}:
- Make sure that dkms doesn't use the gold linker,
otherwise the resulting module would cause kernel
oops (LP: #607399).
- Drop non functional OBSOLETE_BY variable.

Can anyone confirm? YES! You cracked it! I can confirm that the problem seems to be related to the "gold" linker. Since the Maverick upgrade I had kernel oops every single time XOrg tried to start. The nvidia moduleee loadeds fine, it seems to be only when the X server loads does the OOPS occiur. Following from what you said, I changed the ld soft link to /usr/bin/ld.bfd , reinstalled the nVidia driver, and hey presto it works! Now, the question has to be... what is the "gold" linker doing to the nVidia source that "ld.bfd" is not? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607399 Title: Loading the nvidia driver causes kernel oops in maverick, natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 607399] Re: Loading the nvidia driver causes kernel oops in maverick, natty
Bitten. Wasted my weekend on it. I've been running various kernels & nvidia drivers for a long time, even switching hardware along the way, without any issue whatsoever and out of the blue i get that oops. The funniest part is i cannot get rid of it: i've tried every available kernels (from 2.6.32 up to 2.6.37) and drivers (from 195.* up to 270.*), then downgraded every remotely related packages (xorg*, libs and more), yet it still oops. It's infuriating. As i knew my hardware & system were just fine, out of desperation, i've given a fresh ubuntu 10.10 live cd a try... booted, jockeyed and no fuss, no muss, got a working 260.19.06. Revived by such wondrous sight, i've exported its magic list of package/version and applied that (well, part of it) to my dysfunctional system. No luck, still oopsing. Noticed that now almost similar systems produced different binaries. So i went medieval and simply grafted the live-cd's module binary. Success. Conclusion: apparently some maverick update screws the build system for that module, even if the exact reason/culprit still escapes me right now (and i have downgraded just about everything at this point...). TL; DR: for a quick fix, use a fresh live cd to produce a sane module. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607399 Title: Loading the nvidia driver causes kernel oops in maverick, natty -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 607399] Re: Loading the nvidia driver causes kernel oops in maverick, natty
Upgraded to NVIDIA driver 270.18 from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and still encountering the kernel oops. This bug is incredibly frustrating, all I have been able to do is reboot until the NVIDIA module loads. Sometimes I have to reboot my machine 10 or 20 times repeatedly.
