Re: [Bug 145112] Re: Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups
NVIDIA has already identified/acknowledged that there is a regression in the 100.14.11 100.14.19 drivers for G72 based cards (7300 Go, GS...) on certain systems: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1399253postcount=36 Note that most of the time, when using 100.14.11/19, the freeze is hard enough that you will be unable to switch to a console, or ssh to the box. You may however be able to use the magic keys to cleanly sync/unmount/reboot the box. This linkhttp://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt;h=1caa6c734691bc8bc2d14493065ae6f08613f5e6;hb=7dcca30a32aadb0520417521b0c44f42d09fe05cwill help you setup a netconsole, if you have a second box, and will help capturing a stack trace of the kernel if/when it hangs. If you do want to use the 100.14.11/19 drivers on a dual core systems and avoid these freezes, you either will need to disable Desktop effects, or boot with maxcpus=1 as a kernel option. This will disable your second core. -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2007 05:01:51 + Subject: [Bug 145112] Re: Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups Wow. Thanks for the reversion version number -- 09. Compiled the new binary nasty blob driver and so far no lockups. Also edited the Python to enable desktop effects. Thus far, stable with glx! Hopefully the driver will get resolved with the next version. To recap -- download the 09 series driver from Nvidia: amd64 @ http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/100.14.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.09-pkg2.run i386 @ http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.09.html Get your compiling enabled and install the kernel sources: sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-source Restart in your plain mode without X (recovery) and build the blob (failsafe X is a PITA): sh ./NVIDIA And fix your xorg.conf as per your needs. For example: Section Module Load glx Load GLcore Load v4l EndSection and change the driver to nvidia from whatever. WFM and will be a decent crutch until NVidia pulls their greymatter together from the nether regions. -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. 09 has done the trick for me, I am testing both the 32 and 64 bit versiond of Gutsy. Been working like a charm for 3 days now, no lockups at all. _ Express yourself with free Messenger emoticons.
