The second bug was definitely a dupe, the problem seems to be with threaded opengl. Nouveau does not currently support this..
The following hack fixes the issue in a nasty way by creating separate screen objects with the same drm device. libdrm is only thread-safe with libdrm 2.4.54 or later. This probably won't break vdpau, though I'm not completely sure.. The real fix is making nouveau thread-safe, it's been discussed on the #nouveau channel: http://people.freedesktop.org/~cbrill/dri- log/?channel=nouveau&date=2014-06-04 ** Attachment added: "Awful awful hack." https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1309044/+attachment/4125841/+files/patch ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309044 Title: Unity webapps crash Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1309044/+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
