Bug Description

Can't use Ubungu desktop, because there aren't stable graphic drivers for NVIDIA card.

Bugs are reported there:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1241595

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1251042

There is no working graphic driver.

nouveau works for several hours (if you playing flash videos, then several minutes)

proprietary nvidia drivers works for several minutes

I think, it's critical bug - desktop without stable graphic drivers.

I consider it as new bug.

The bugs above (nvidia, noveau) are already reported more than a month and nothing changed.

Petr Nosek, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Christopher,

  I think, we can close this bug. This bug is reported there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1251042

  It's about nvidia drivers. I will report it as a duplicate of bug 1251042.

  Nouveau looks like more stable, after upgrading my BIOS. But still testing. Sometimes nouveau freezes - I'm using Gnome - no effects. But it looks usable for office.
