[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 993187] Re: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.
I am running 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-35-generic-pae (32 bit) on a Dell E521 AMD dual core machine. I have experienced hard locks (IE a power off job) and partial locks (still responds to raw keyboard mode commands Ctrl+Alt+Sys Req+r etc). The last hard lock was a few days ago. But this is always triggered by compiz. Often compiz will crash and offer to send a report and restart, but the locks are always triggered by this action:- Click on Dash button, type in search characters, and then: *click on a result*. Its always that final click (to start or spawn somthing) that causes the lock in my case. This is an upgrade from 10.04 and I have an nvidia Geforce 210 card with the version-current updates driver. This is my work PC, and its sad to say I have never had such an unstable box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993187 Title: ubuntu 12.04 completely freezes frequently.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 728745] Re: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop
There seems to be more going on than just nvidia driver trouble. I have just installed 12.04 64 bit on a third machine with a more modern nvidia card (Geforce 9) and neither nouveau or nvidia driver will run unity. Thats three fails. Just a blank desktop (wallpaper) which seems to be a very common fault (tried most of the fixes). 3D drivers are working fine, excellently in fact. So it seems to be a compiz or unity bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728745 Title: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/728745/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 989850] Re: nvidia driver causes console freeze
This seem to be related to frame buffer mode. If I enable text mode console in the grub script, then the console Ctrl+Alt+Fx works fine. But when returning to the graphic screen Ctrl+Alt+F7 the screen is totally corrupted. Moving the mouse repaints the screen back to normal. So far it has not locked up but this maybe pure chance. Also disabling splash in grub stops the corrupted text characters during boot.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 728745] Re: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop
@Ray No I have not tried startup manager since it did not work in 10.04. I used the v86d framebuffer method to (sort of) fix that. But the none working console issue is quite disturbing. I wonder if it is related to the boot splash issue. IE some kernel mode that is borking something else.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 728745] Re: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop
This was my experience with a fresh install of 11.10 release version on GeForce 7300 LE :- First login was fine, but graphical actions very sluggish (several seconds to move a window). I presume this was the nouveau driver since it was not 2D desktop. When prompted to install a driver for the video card, I selected the recommended one. After reboot this resulted in the usual garbled black and white boot splash and after login and a blank desktop. So I reboot and logged in with Ubuntu 2D, then selected the latest Post release driver. After reboot, the same garbled black and white boot splash, but the 3D desktop works. However the consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1 etc) still do not work. You just get a blank screen, and returning via Ctrl+Alt+F7 gives a totally corrupted screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728745 Title: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/728745/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Also with the Nouveau experimental 3D driver, the console (Ctrl+alt+f1 etc) does not work. You just get a non responsive screen. Ctrl+alt+f7 brings it to life again.

There is a bug in Jockey in that once a proprietary driver has been installed, then the Nouveau driver (Listed as Experimental 3D) disappears never to return!. Apparently you have to uninstall and purge the nvidia drivers and reset xorg.conf to get the Nouveau one back in the list, so it can be activated.
