With a fresh install of 12.10, lifebook E8410 ( Nvidia 8400M G): - default nouveau driver messes up screen (all kind of artifacts) - latest closed source diver (from Nvidia 304.64 ) causes lockups both with unity and gnome-shell
Focusing on the nvidia driver problem: - although system is not responding to any user interaction, I'm able to log-in via ssh and reboot (sometimes I'm even able to use ctrl+alt+f1, then ctrl+alt+del to reboot, but all the time I see the locked up graphical interface) - also applications like skype, date-time... seem to crash often, but I'm not sure if these are related -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033263 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 freezes with nvidia drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1033263/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
