So - I reported this bug over 7 months ago, and no sign at all of any progress? And its only ranked as "medium"? Surely it should be at the very minimum marked as "high", or even "critical".
This bug, causing hard reboots to be required mutilple times every single day, creates a Ubuntu system that in the real world is unusable for day-to-day work. This bug was also reported on the NVidia Developer Forum 3 months ago btw, and it hasn't even been looked at there either. https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/537302/both-screens-black-xorg- at-100-cpu-overflow-errors-in-xorg-0-log-nvidia-driver-310-14-quadro- fx/#3821607 The signs for a successful resolution/fix, it seems, are not good. >From my personal experience, NVidia proprietary support for Ubuntu is still unacceptably poor for my graphics card, as it was for my graphics card before that, and the one before that. Nouveau? Even worse, as it was for my previous graphics card, and the one before that. A totally unusable system, hard locking within around 40 seconds of desktop loading. All bugs reported elsewhere, some going back almost 4 years, not a single one ever addressed or fixed. After 8 years, and after countless hours, days and sometimes weeks of trying to put something *back* into Ubuntu, its business and its community, with a sense of huge sadness I've finally reached the point where I feel any further effort I put in is effort wasted. I had great hopes for Ubuntu, but I feel I can't live in self-denial any more. Ubuntu, for me at least, has been a failed experiment - and I have now lost all faith that that will ever change. Ubuntu, it appears, is never going to provide me with a stable operating system that meets my needs. Its quality and reliability are too woefully inadequate compared to its propritary competitors (MS Windows, OSX, Android). It doesn't matter what component is to "blame" for that, the end-user experience is the same - unacceptably poor. As such, I'm moving to one of Ubuntu's competitors, and its time for to close my Launchpad account. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077616 Title: 10de:0ca3 (EE) [mi] EQ overflowing. Additional events will be discarded until existing events are processed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Random hard locks on fresh installs of Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit), requiring hard reboot. Keyboard is unresponsive, and unable to Ctrl+Alt+F5 etc. This happens with any Desktop environment (GNOME, Cinnamon, KDE). Using NVidia GT240 with NVidia binary blob. This appears to be no pattern to when this happens - can be using any application. Happens several times per day. With Nouveau my system usually freezes within a couple of minutes of logging in.
