Michael Stutson, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product- support/product/alienware-aurora-r4/drivers/advanced an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A11). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a11 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480516 Title: Google Chrome Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Multiple pages in Google Chrome crashed my computer multiple times ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu8.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-61.100-generic 3.13.11-ckt22 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-61-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.11 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Fri Jul 31 22:07:22 2015 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: trusty DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 555] [10de:1206] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:0958] InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-28 (460 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) MachineType: Alienware Aurora-R4 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-61-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=93d3714c-6d9e-46e0-827c-9cc6f2d16b68 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 08/21/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Alienware dmi.bios.version: A05 dmi.board.name: 07JNH0 dmi.board.vendor: Alienware dmi.board.version: A02 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Alienware dmi.chassis.version: 00 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAlienware:bvrA05:bd08/21/2012:svnAlienware:pnAurora-R4:pvr00:rvnAlienware:rn07JNH0:rvrA02:cvnAlienware:ct3:cvr00: dmi.product.name: Aurora-R4 dmi.product.version: 00 dmi.sys.vendor: Alienware version.compiz: compiz N/A version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.4 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.7 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.8.2-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.3.0-1ubuntu3.1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.910-0ubuntu1.6 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu2 xserver.bootTime: Fri Jul 31 21:41:14 2015 xserver.configfile: default xserver.errors: Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.7 xserver.video_driver: nouveau To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1480516/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
