This time, I reproduced the freeze on a ubuntu 9.04 liveCD. I installed version 180.44 of the nvidia proprietary drivers, and version 10.0.42.34 of adobe proprietary flash plugin. The computer froze again while displaying the "Home" movie.
One interesting thing : I never experienced such freezes when I was running ubuntu 9.04 installed on my PC, before upgrading to 9.10. That leads me to 2 possible assumptions : - the problem comes from a software bug, that appeared in a recent version of nvidia drivers, or in a recent version of flash - the problem comes from a hardware issue, that appeared precisely when I upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 If it's a software bug in flash plugin, this bug appeared in version 10.0.32.18. Because I was certainly using the previous one (10.0.22.87) when I was using ubuntu 9.04. Cf http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.04.1/changelog I'm not very confident that it could be a bug in nvidia drivers, because version 180.44 is the one I was certainly using with ubuntu 9.04. Cf http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.44-0ubuntu1/changelog I don't think it could be a hardware problem : it would be surprising that it happens only after upgrading to 9.10, and not when using the nvidia open-source drivers. -- Freezes with nvidia-glx-185 or -190 after upgrade from jaunty to karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
