To see if this has been fixed in newer versions I am now running after having installed:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg- core-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver- xorg-input-libinput-hwe-16.04 Try this only at your own risk. Next I will test especially with google-earth and LibreOffice as they are involved in a lot of lock-ups. -- 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/1723758 Title: Xorg X11 nouveau video driver for NVIDIA graphics chipsets locks up (hangs) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1723758/+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
