Public bug reported: I had been using the recommended nvidia driver (nvidia-driver-460). I recently changed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau for the following reasons:
1) The resolution configuration was not saved. It is, every power off and power on the resolution restarted to low resolution. 2) The syslog file in /var/log/ constantly was filled with logs (may be with a rate of 1 GB per hour), then, I was enforced to install busybox- syslogd to stop the logging and continue with activities. 3) When using xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, in contrast with nvidia- driver-460, i didn't had to reset the resolution configuration, which was great, but now the screen is constantly freezing and i had to use alt+SysRq+REISUB two times in a day ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-44.50~20.04.1-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-44-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.16 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/boot.log' CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Mar 5 22:59:16 2021 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: focal DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GpuHangFrequency: Several times a week GpuHangReproducibility: Seems to happen randomly GpuHangStarted: Today GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] [10de:1d01] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] [1458:375c] InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-02-27 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20210209.1) MachineType: Default string Default string ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.8.0-44-generic root=UUID=28228923-7b88-4688-b9fd-157d9ebc22df ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg Symptom: display Title: Xorg freeze UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 06/03/2020 dmi.bios.release: 5.11 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 5.11 dmi.board.asset.tag: Default string dmi.board.name: X99-k9 dmi.board.vendor: MACHINIST dmi.board.version: V1.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Default string dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Default string dmi.chassis.version: Default string dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr5.11:bd06/03/2020:br5.11:svnDefaultstring:pnDefaultstring:pvrDefaultstring:rvnMACHINIST:rnX99-k9:rvrV1.0:cvnDefaultstring:ct3:cvrDefaultstring: dmi.product.family: Default string dmi.product.name: Default string dmi.product.sku: Default string dmi.product.version: Default string dmi.sys.vendor: Default string version.compiz: compiz N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.102-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 20.2.6-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx N/A version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.20.9-2ubuntu1.2~20.04.1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:19.1.0-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20200226-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.16-1 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal freeze ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917974 Title: Xorg freeze Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I had been using the recommended nvidia driver (nvidia-driver-460).
