dvdmchl, given that you reported this problem while using the nvidia proprietary drivers, let this report be scoped to that, as nouveau drivers are treated as separately.
Hence, as per your logs, you were using the 304.x nvidia driver when you first reported. As per nvidia.com, the latest available is 340.93, which is available in Wily as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia- graphics-drivers-340 . Hence, would testing a newer version of the driver change anything? ** Tags added: wily ** Description changed: - It has to do something with GPU as it happens only when using app that - uses OpenGL. + With Nvidia binary drivers it freezes very often, with nouveau driver it + freezes not very often. It has to do something with GPU as it happens + only when using app that uses OpenGL.
