Public bug reported: Display output intermittently pauses for approximately a second, causing the system to appear "stuttery". During freezes mouse input doesn't seem to be registered and keyboard input is repeated, as though keys are being held down.
Watching the journal via `journalctl -f`, the following message appears each time the problem occurs: Mar 31 20:16:18 luke-ultrabook kernel: nouveau 0000:02:00.0: bus: MMIO write of 00000002 FAULT at 4188ac [ IBUS ] Mar 31 20:16:27 luke-ultrabook kernel: nouveau 0000:02:00.0: bus: MMIO write of 00000002 FAULT at 4188ac [ IBUS ] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-13.14-generic 4.15.10 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sat Mar 31 20:11:01 2018 DistUpgraded: 2018-03-31 16:47:43,480 DEBUG Running PostInstallScript: './xorg_fix_proprietary.py' DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [1028:05fe] Subsystem: Dell GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] [1028:05fe] InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-01-29 (61 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20180105.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
