** Description changed: - Sometimes when doing clicking on something in GNOME (or Unity, in 14.04 - (haven't tested Unity in 15.10)) like 'Activities' or an application - like Maps in the Applications section of Activities, or even 'Details' - in the GNOME Control Center (or simply clicking on the Unity Control - Center icon in the Launcher in Unity), the computer will freeze and I - can't even switch to a login terminal and have to hard shutdown. + Frequently, when clicking any of the following: + * GNOME > GNOME Control Center + * Unity > Activities + * Unity > Activities > Maps application + * Unity > Unity Control Center + * Unity > Amazon link in the Launcher + * Unity > System Settings link the Launcher - This happens frequently although irregularly. I can usually avoid the - bug if I don't use Activities or Settings..., it doesn't happen with - GNOME Flashback (so I presume it's a problem with Nouveau and '3D' - desktop environments/window managers). + the computer will freeze and I can't even switch to a login terminal and + have to hard shutdown. I can usually avoid the bug if I don't click + these things. Occasionally when this bug occurs the screen shows a + terminal-like display with something like 'GPU lockup' written on it. - I'm really sorry I can't be any more specific than this at the moment. - Please point me in the right direction to learn more about this bug if - need be. + This reproducible in: + * Unity 16.10 + * GNOME 15.10 + * Unity 14.04 + * GNOME 14.04 - Seems to be a bug that appeared in Linux 3.7 - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156690 . + This doesn't happen in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Windows 8. + + This may be a regression from Linux 3.7 as per: + https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156690 The Nvidia 304 drivers don't work at all once logged in. - Occasionally when this bug occurs the screen shows a terminal-like - display with something like 'GPU lockup' written on it. Someone - suggested that it may just be because the graphics card in the model is - outdated but it has no problems running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Windows 8. + WORKAROUND: It doesn't happen with GNOME Flashback.
