@ Perre. Don't think it's Java related. I've got the standard java option installed that comes with Ubuntu and my machine crashes with Nvidia Drivers.
My laptop runs almost without crashed on the 173 version of the Nvidia drivers, but seems to run completely stable if I disable Nvidia drivers completely (this will activate the open source Nouveau drivers). Nouvuau drivers aren't bad at all, as long as you don't plan to run 3D games in my opinion. Perhaps you can try this? I'm still running 12.04 on an external HD to test it and I have managed to get an almost acceptable stabililty with driver version 173, but I'm currently testing without Nvidia drivers, thus with Nouveau drivers and this seems to be completely stable. There are other bugs with Ivy bridge systems etc. that cause 12.04 to come to a complete freeze, but these bugs seem to be more kernel related. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033263 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 freezes with nvidia drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1033263/+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
