You have been subscribed to a public bug: Since installing Ubuntu 14.04, onto a HP Pavilion dv8 laptop, the unity desktop is freezing a couple of times each day. Typically at first, I'm able to move my mouse-cursor, but after a few seconds that freezes up too.
I'm not sure what's causing this, but here's the video card it uses: lspci -vnn | grep -A12 'VGA\|Display' 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GT216M [GeForce GT 230M] [10de:0a28] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:7001] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49 Memory at d2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] I/O ports at 6000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at d3080000 [disabled] [size=512K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: nouveau ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.46 [modified: boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: lonnie 2663 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: lonnie 2663 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Tue Apr 29 14:19:09 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=154ec9be-4204-4fe0-9dcd-3e13f4b66375 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-28 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv8 Notebook PC ProcFB: 0 nouveaufb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=41b9be5e-d0cf-4389-8320-5576d93a437c ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 05/31/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.bios.version: F.25 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 7001 dmi.board.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.board.version: 35.35 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnHewlett-Packard:bvrF.25:bd05/31/2010:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPaviliondv8NotebookPC:pvr0499220000241210001040000:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn7001:rvr35.35:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: HP Pavilion dv8 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: 0499220000241210001040000 dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug trusty -- HP Pavilion dv8 Freezing in Ubuntu 14.04 (NVIDIA GT216M [GeForce GT 230M] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314368 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
