If the problem is reproducible in a live environment, then testing that would be fine. >"And, I fear that such tests might not be reliable: after the temporary use of the NVidia driver I could use the "nouveau" driver for some time even without the special boot parameter "nouveau.config=NvMSI=0" - only after some months, new freezes occurred." Such test is reliable, in that it provides additional data points with later versions of various related packages. This is required in order to upstream an issue for upstream developers to address. Despite this, if one notices different environment behavior with nouveau after such maneuvering, the proprietary driver may be twiddling some bits that luckily improve stability after removal. It could also be a coincedence. >"I have the feeling that the problem (now) arises non-deterministically -- likely dependent on environment factors such as temperature and/or humidity." Evidence and data are helpful, guesses/feelings/hunches aren't. One may monitor internal temperatures via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto in order to prove a correlation. >"While freezes are now rather rare for me, I often observe that the top bars of my windows (usually black) are drawn in an irregular black/white pattern (similar to the freeze pattern) when I move the mouse pointer over the bar." This report is scoped to freezing/crashing. If you are having graphical issues without freezing/crashing that's a different problem for a new report.

From 14.04 on, I was unable to graphically log in. A few seconds after the login (varying between 1 and 10 s), the screen changed to a pattern with dense white stripes on the violet/red background, and X froze (no reaction to mouse or keyboard). The latest messages in "/var/log/syslog" each time showed varying "nouveau E" problems, e.g. "unrecognized interupt", "PFIFO", or "PBUS" problems such as e.g.: "nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:00:0d.0] MMIO write of 0x01f70001 FAULT at 0x00b010" (values and addresses varying). Usually, the freeze happens when e.g. "firefox" is started (which happens in my context automatically after a graphical login). In my case, the NVidia driver could not be started (I did not investigate why). Using boot parameter "nouveau.config=NvMSI=0" made the graphical login successful again. Today, I wanted to report the bug with "ubuntu-bug". However, during the collection of the system information, the error happened again (despite the "nouveau.config" boot parameter).
