Ric95: Exactly what Bryce said. Turning off services can be a bit fraught and the powernowd service has two different scripts which can cause it to be run. Unfortunately powernowd doesn't seem to support a setting in /etc/default/powernowd to allow users to cleanly disable it in a similar manner t

'exit 0' simply causes a script to exit. So effectively, that change causes powernowd to exit without doing anything. I gather this indicates the bug has something to do with power management and cpu frequency scaling. -- [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d enabled https://bugs.launchpad.n

I worried I may be too optimistic, but that seems to have cured it On a hunch, I first tried turning off the service... and locked it up 30 seconds later. But then I edited that line in and have been working windows around blender just fine :) Thanks!,... what does "exit 0" do anyhow? --

Ric95: That's too bad. This is a long shot but I'm out of ideas: Add the following new line just after #! /bin/sh in /etc/init.d/powernowd exit 0 and then reboot. Any change? -- [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94739 You received this bug notificati

Nope. "RenderAccel" "False" ( not "0" btw) Doesn't help. But at least Blender is the only thing that crashes it. ( pity, Blender is the most important piece of software for me.) Blender is available in a static build that doesn't use system openGL libraries. I'll try that. If it works I could

Too early to say if "RenderAccel" "0" helps, but trying the "nvidia-glx- new" broke it bad with a version mismatch. And reverting back to "nvidia-glx" didn't work, I ended up re-installing from scratch!. ( now it occurs to me that I should have purged nvidia, then re-installed. ) -- [nvidia-glx]

Ric95: There's very little to recompile - it a binary only driver. The only thing you could recompile is the glue layer which isn't really going to make much difference. Given that this bug lockups up your entire system the problem can't possibly lie with Blender so recompiling it would likely n

Ya, it looks like several people have had problems with that. Firefox hasn't lockedup, but my beloved Blender has ( rarely ). What can I do to fix this and hopefully help the community ? Can I recompile the NV driver ? ( I read an old page describing an Nvidia supplied compiler to tweak for th

Ric95's last comment makes this sounds like Bug #13530 . If so Ric95 is less likely to see the problem but assuming that the nvidia binary module is still being used the issue will flare up with programs like firefox... -- [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d enabled https://bugs.launchpad.ne

Solved. I've noted the times when the system locks up, and in my case there was no events logged in the log files. But I switched to Xubuntu 7.04 and it runs clean and stable :) [See if there is mention of NVRM: Xid in /var/log/messages ...] Sorry, but I've wiped the partition when I installed X

I was using the nvidia-glx on my laptop with a GeForce4 420 Go 64M and Ubuntu Edgy amd64. All was well until I upgraded to Feisty.
