Yes I am aware of the stale bug problem and have been on both ends. But as the number of open bugs decreases (at least in some components), the problem should happen less: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX- 1vRDHPxGBHqM6XkT_S8ggtYfD0xchKSUD_z9PopNVE3G1rU05fVSnxDGcDsEstl7gu7N- tzCU6mL

The reason I ask this is that launchpad has an unfortunate approach to issue management (these two that you have been communicating in are a welcome change - thanks) where bugs go stale for years or are dropped due to lack of engagement from maintainers. -- You received this bug notification beca

I think it's appropriate to stay Incomplete because this is essentially just a kernel bug, in the nouveau driver. Option (b) above isn't directly relevant, but might be a workaround, even permanently. Any proper solution to this bug requires testing of option (a) in comment #4. So still incomplete

You appear to be using a kernel parameter ('nomodeset') which will definitely break the nouveau driver and prevent it from working. To fix this, please: 1. Edit /etc/default/grub and remove 'nomodeset'. 2. Run: sudo update-grub 3. Reboot ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) **
