Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-generic
Distro : 8.10 // Intrepid x86_64 and x86_32
This bug concern also nvidia-glx-177, nvidia-glx-180
Hardware :
* P5Q Mother Board
* 4 Gio RAM
* nVidia 9500GT >> "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation
GeForce 9500 GT (rev a1)"
* Proc Intel E2500 @2.5 GH
I installed the 64bits version of Ubuntu, it worked fine *before the last
kernel update to 2.6.27-11. *
After this update I was not able to use my desktop anymore with nVidia
driver : the computer freezes (black screen) on X launch. Disk stopped,
no ctrl-alt-backspace, no ctrl-alt-del, keyboard dead... I have to hard
reset !
As I start with the recovery mode, I can set the driver as nv in
Xorg.conf, the nvidia module seems to be launched (visible via lsmod).
It works fine with nv driver.
*I didn't see anything in dmesg.log, Xorg.0.log, kernel.org... *
After that I decided to switch back to 32bit version, and I have the
same result with the same kernel revision.
It work fine with the "2.6.27-7-generic" 32bits version (I'm using it
now, with compiz), but not with the 2.6.27-11...
I've tried both 177 and 180 nvidia-glx driver, nvidia.run (180), envy didn't
work.
With 180 nvidia.run driver, I could see the nvidia splash screen, before the
screen become black, or sometimes 'beige' (ubuntu default X back color), with
mouse pointer. Pointer doesn't move, system is crashed.
Thanks for your fantastic work for a fantastic Linux distro !
