[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 402975] Re: system freezes and reboots during app startup
A correction: The freeze does happen on nVidia Quadro NVS 290 (NV86), but not on nVidia Quadro FX1500 (NV71GL). So it is a bug affecting only newer nVidia hardware. I do not know if it happens on Ubuntu 64 Bit, too. It should be patched as soon as possible. nVidia is not able to provide Ubuntu packages at the moment: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 " Please note: unfortunately, it has become difficult to keep track of the pre-/post-installation steps required for [K]Ubuntu, and the above instructions may be incomplete. If in doubt, it is recommended that you use your distributor's NVIDIA Linux graphics driver packages, exclusively. " Maybe it helps to get into touch with them, or to offer distribution updates more quickly. nVidia offers a package repository for openSUSE, but not yet for Ubuntu. -- system freezes and reboots during app startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ 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 402975] Re: system freezes and reboots during app startup
The freeze does only happen on Ubuntu 9.04 32 Bit. The 64 Bit variant is not affected. Anyway, it would help to accelerate the driver update process. For openSUSE, nVidia provides a package repository. Although nVidia updates even to the 185 series which is not quite stable. I would prefer that nVidia took care of providing Ubuntu update packages separated for series 180, 185, 190, etc. so for example if nVidia publishes 180.60, the next day all Ubuntu systems can be patched. If someone wants to migrate to another series, an upgrade package should be provided as well which lets the user track the newer series. Jockey already offers to install different series, only timely incremental upgrades are missing. -- system freezes and reboots during app startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ 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 402975] Re: system freezes and reboots during app startup
I manually installed the nVidia driver 180.60 (NVIDIA- Linux-x86-180.60-pkg1.run). This driver resolves the issue!!! The driver 180.60 is part of the 180 series and only an incremental (but important) update. Please provide an update package for Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty). -- system freezes and reboots during app startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ 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 402975] [NEW] system freezes and reboots during app startup
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nvidia-180-kernel-source 1) Description:Ubuntu 9.04 Release:9.04 32 Bit 2) nvidia-180-kernel-source: Installed: 180.44-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 180.44-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 180.44-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/restricted Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) I expect the application to start up without a problem and the window to popup offering a graphical user interface. Details: The application which exhibits this behavior is from the static code analyzer package Mathworks PolySpace R2009b (C/C++, V3) prerelease. Starting the viewer /usr/local/PolySpace/PolySpace_Common/Viewer/bin/polyspace-viewer first shows a loading dialog, and when the progress bar reaches the right end, a window with the GUI is rendered. The application is written in JAVA. 4) Just when the progress bar of the loading dialog reaches the end and the window with the GUI is imminent to open, the mouse pointer freezes and after one minute the system reboots. The freeze does not happen with the Open Source nv driver. Maybe an update of the nVidia driver package to a more recent version helps. With the older nVidia 173.14.16 driver (offered by jockey), there is no system freeze, but the GUI is not rendered correctly: the window is filled with one color but hovering the mouse over the window shows that the GUI dialog elements are there, just not visible. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- system freezes and reboots during app startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. ___ 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
