My apologies to everyone who tried to help me.
The problem was in my BIOS. When I installed My PCI-Express video card the BIOS
set itself to PCI, so the OS would end up looking in the wrong slot for video :(
** Summary changed:
- [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d is enabled
+
I'm back just to post an update in hopes I can help make Ubuntu the best ever.
( a postcard from the edge ;) )
I've used many Linux distros lately, and almost all had a similar lockup on my
hardware. ( note to self: no more compaq )
Now I'm using Sabayon/Gentoo. 2.6.21, 64 bit, it had the lockup
Its hard to say. But I'm now thinking that I'm chasing two bugs that cause the
same lockup :(
After making that change as per bug115267 I didn't notice the random lockup,
but I still induced a lockup by dragging a window. I'll try to find time to
chase that separately.
Would it be possible

[I suspect your best bet is to talk to NVIDIA directly about this] . Ya,
I would need to use the most up to date driver. They didn't exactly make
that
Hi again. I've been exploring many other distros and they seem to have
the same problems with Nvidia combined with the more recent Linux
kernels. A redhat bugchase may implicate the'i2c handler' ( beyond my
knowledge what that is).

I may try nvidia-glx-new when I have time to tinker with it. I would be nice if
there was an easier way to revert back to nvidia-glx. Hopefully with Gutsy both
drivers will be in the driver manager. It

Yes this is definatly a big improvement.
But I still get a lockup very rarely. More like once/ 2 hours rather than once/
10 min.
Is it safe to uninstall Powernowd ?
Is Nvidia and the coders of Powernowd
I'm just glad we could resolve it :) Thats wierd that Nvidia would
effect that, but now that I think about it That sort of makes sense.

You received this bug notification because
Nope. RenderAccel False ( not 0 btw) Doesn't help.
But at least Blender is the only thing that crashes it. ( pity, Blender is the
most important piece of software for me.)
Blender is available in a static build that doesn't use system openGL
libraries. I'll try that.
If it works I could
I worried I may be too optimistic, but that seems to have cured it
On a hunch, I first tried turning off the service... and locked it up 30
seconds later. But then I edited that line in and have been working windows
around blender just fine :) Thanks!,... what does exit 0 do anyhow?

Ya, it looks like several people have had problems with that.
Firefox hasn't lockedup, but my beloved Blender has ( rarely ).
What can I do to fix this and hopefully help the community ?
Can I recompile the NV driver ? ( I read an old page describing an Nvidia
supplied compiler to tweak for
Too early to say if RenderAccel 0 helps, but trying the nvidia-glx-
new broke it bad with a version mismatch. And reverting back to
nvidia-glx didn't work, I ended up re-installing from scratch!. ( now
it occurs to me that I should have purged nvidia, then re-installed. )

Solved.
I've noted the times when the system locks up, and in my case there was no
events logged in the log files. But I switched to Xubuntu 7.04 and it runs
clean and stable :)
[See if there is mention of NVRM: Xid in /var/log/messages ...]
Sorry, but I've wiped the partition when I installed
Try Xubuntu, I Just changed to it and my lockup problems are solved :)
that would imply that the Nvidia driver doesn't like something in Gnome.

I have now downgraded to Edgy 6.10 (64bit) but still occasionally get the same

How can I help find this bug? ( I can reproduce it by moving windows around
for a while)

Frequent lockups when NV 3d enabled
Public bug reported:
Fiesty worked well until Nvidia 3d was enabled. ( nice new driver manager btw
;) )
Now system locks up hard in 3 - 30 seconds.( unless 3d disabled)
Browsing the forums it seems several people have this problem, a few have fixed
it by using older (?) drivers or enabling 3d
Public bug reported:
When I cont/ alt/ backspace to restart gnome it hangs when it reaches:
*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
Note; I have nvidia 3d disabled. ( due to another bug. Listed in another
report) The boot script probably just didn't expect that. :(
