[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 940564] Re: [8400m] nvidia-graphics-drivers (295.33-0ubuntu1), is causing failed restarts. shutdowns only a blackscreen on tty's other than tty7
I just came across this report, and while I'm not having problems with black screens or failed shut-downs so much, I have a similar set-up to the original reporter: Nvidia 8400M GT, Core 2 Duo, and I've been having problems with the GPU failing to activate (see Bug #1009312). It seems to be happening at the actual kernel level very early in booting, not the nvidia drivers. I'm seeing a lot of similarities in the patterns here though: problem seems to happen in cycles over multiple shutdowns, much better luck with the 64bit version of Ubuntu and the kernel (comment #6 above), having to revert to the VGA drivers (comment #12), some relation to power management. I don't think my report is an exact duplicate of this (and I think all kernel reports are supposed to be treated separately), but I would be interested if anyone here is seeing something similar to what I am. If anyone is, that could really help us narrow down what's going on. And again, if you have a 64bit processor, you really might want to try moving to the 64bit build of Ubuntu; when I was on the PAE kernel, GPU problems were the norm, but since switching to the 64bit version, I've only had one bad session over at least 10 reboots. -- 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/940564 Title: [8400m] nvidia-graphics-drivers (295.33-0ubuntu1), is causing failed restarts. shutdowns only a blackscreen on tty's other than tty7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/940564/+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 precise linux-image-3.2.0-26-generic-pae, nvidia-current-updates v295.49: Same problem. In the past, while trying to isolate the problem, reverted to basic VGA drivers and power management problems went away.

Just updated to nvidia 295.53 and it still had all the same issues as before (freezing on restart, blue colors on Flash video).

I decided to move to the nouveau open driver. Remove nvidia driver: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia* and install the open one: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau libdrm-nouveau1a nouveau-firmware It works very well (Ubuntu 12.04 Nvidia GeForce Go 8400M GS).

Just to follow up - using fresh beta installs This issue remains occurs as described on a 32 bit install, 3 good cycles then will break shortly after - the 290.XX drivers were last good ones However on a 64 bit install it never occurs, shutdowns/restarts switching tty's are solid -- 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/940564 Title: [8400m] nvidia-graphics-drivers (295.33-0ubuntu1), is causing failed restarts. shutdowns only a blackscreen on tty's other than tty7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/940564/+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
