Yes freeze is permanent, I have left transmission running for long times and it hasn't recovered.
I already did some tests "without Nvidia" before reporting this, but couldn't manage to get Nouveau work then. Apparently it wasn't enough to blacklist nvidia but had to also select right libGL with update-alternatives. And indeed, with Nouveau freeze is not happening. ** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Package changed: transmission (Ubuntu) => nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734615 Title: Transmission-gtk freezes on blocklist update -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
