This bug is about the 'nouveau' module, which is usually contained in the linux-image-EXTRA-.. package.
Following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds : I went to the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.18-rc6-vivid/ folder, which contains the 3 following DEB files : linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc6-generic_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc6_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_all.deb linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc6-generic_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_amd64.deb But this folder does NOT contain the linux-image- EXTRA-3.18.0-031800rc6-generic_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_amd64.deb file which should contain the 'nouveau' module. Does the linux-image-EXTRA-3.18.0-031800rc6-generic_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_amd64.deb file exist ? - If yes, where can I find it ? - If not, where can I find a debian package containing the latest 'nouveau' module ? For the record, I downloaded and installed the 3 existing DEB files, then rebooted, and not surprisingly, the graphical interface stayed entirely black. I could reboot using tty1. Again, this bug is about the 'nouveau' module, which is usually contained in the linux-image-EXTRA-.. package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1396840 Title: Module nouveau systematically crashes after a few minutes, whereas module nvidia from nvidia-331-updates crashes only after several hours of work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1396840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
