MvW, thank you for your comment. Please do not mark this report a duplicate of another one, or vice versa. As well, please do not suggest in other people's report (ex. 986831) they should mark themselves affected, as this wouldn't be helpful. Instead, they should file a new report, as previously documented to you.
Despite this, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect 1258231 Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, please note given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding. Helpful bug reporting tips: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs ** Description changed: - The machine's (Dell Precision M6500, core i7, nVidia Quadro FX 3800M) interface frequently (once an hour at least) locks up. The mouse almost always functions fine but won't allow to click anything, it does however locks up sometimes as well. - Sound continues to play just fine, as do all other background tasks. Switching to TTY1 and switching back to TTY7 will mostly recover the issue by relaunching the shell. Unfortunately it also results in a black screen from time to time, leaving nothing but to relaunch the window manager loosing all opened X applications. I have this issue since Ubuntu 12.10 and have failed finding any solution for it. Have tried numerous Kernels and nVidia drivers to no avail. - - Syslog entries: - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092411] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092451] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092454] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092455] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092458] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092462] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092464] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092466] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092467] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092469] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092470] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! - Dec 5 17:44:03 Europa kernel: [ 8187.092472] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context! + About once an hour at least, my computer either locks up (ex. black screen) requiring me to relaunch the window manager loosing all opened X applications, or allows me to move the mouse but won't allow to click anything.
