NVidia GEForce 610M and additional integrated Intel video card. Intermittent hard freezes on Ubuntu and Mint - no traces as to why in any log file anywhere. Tried fresh install of 12.04 with different hard drive. Worked perfectly until I installed nvidia-stable drivers from Ubuntu repository - hard froze within minutes.
Installed "nouveau" drivers and removed all traces of nvidia drivers. NOTE: I had to remove the nvidia drivers in order to make my system stable. Other posts had said that was not necessary - for me it was. One nouveau drivers were active. I issued the following: ~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-common nvidia-current nvidia-settings ~$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop was a dependency of nvidia-common and therefore removed with the purge - that's why the install of ubuntu-desktop afterwards. My system has been rock solid since. -- 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.
