Public bug reported: Hi Devs, I'm using 12.04 (beta2) and I get a kernel panic (flashing Caps + Scroll lock) after about 20mins of use if I activate the fancy non-open source nVidia driver. lspci reports that I have: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G71GL [Quadro FX 3500] (rev a1) I'm running on an Intel 5000X series motherboard and have a Xeon CPU if it makes any difference.
I have not customized this installation at all. >From previous experience I suspect that it may be a hardware conflict, but >that doesn't make much sense since it's a pre-built IBM workstation - they >should test everything in concert. (It's an IntelliStation MT:9228) Also binary linux drivers are provided by IBM, but only for RedHat and Suse - I did not install them. This PC never crashes if I stick with the "nouveau" driver. I have attached the full output of lspci and /var/log/kern.log ** Affects: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973893 Title: [precise] Proprietary nVidia driver causes kernel panic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/973893/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
