[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1310762] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 random freeze and lock up
I concur. Since Ubuntu 13.04, I have seen quick lockups with both the nouveau and nVidia drivers in all the Ubuntu and derivative variants I have tried (ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, Mint, Mint KDE, etc). My original problem occurred when I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 to 13.04. Since then, that kernel/nvidia driver combo has been completely unusable. I can use Mint LMDE (Cinnamon) which is kernel 3.10 (I think?) and Korora/Fedora 20 (which is kernel 3.13.10) even though resume doesn't work there, so it seems that kernel 3.13 breaks something graphical. I dread the day that LMDE upgrades to kernel 3.13, because I expect things to break then and I'll be left wth Windows 7 as my only working alternative since I can't find a Linux distro (out of the hundreds available) that just works. (FWIW, Solyd* both also both fail miserably with the same problem. The problem is clearly upstream of Ubuntu as it affects a number of distros with that kernel/nVidia driver combo.) It's a pity that some things that used to work no longer do so, and the people that break them don't seem to care. I've ssen many responses on these bug report sites where the user is being blamed for the bugs, or being told that's normal; get over it. This is just not bloody good enough.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 348914] Re: Display intermittently fails on login with Samsung 205BW
Dear Bryce, Thank you for your email. The bug us still an issue (I am now using 9.10) although it is somewhat different behaviour than when I first reported it. Note it only occurs upon power-up or reboot, so I tend to leave my PC on standby each time so the display is guaranteed and this is my work-around. The symptoms are on power-up that in say 30% of cases it struggles to 'see ' the display (other times it does work OK but takes longer than it should). When it fails, the monitor either remains dark or sometimes has a fine 'snow' affect akin to fine white noise (desktop icons all present). It then tries to recover by 'blanking off' display drivers for a few sec's and tries again. It either recovers after sometime (e.g a couple of minutes) OR I grow impatient and switch off monitor and on again (which only helps occasionally) or reboot. I recall reading on a forum that this was due to the way the Samsung 205 reported its state, if I can find this page I will forward link. When I return to my office (I am away) I will forward the Xorg file as requested. Thanks again (and despite hiccups, I am sold on Linux and Ubuntu!)

You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/) If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Thanks in advance. [This is an automated message.
