Xorg soft lockup using google maps (street view) in firefox under Nouveau

[b]

I can cause an Xorg soft lockup simply by using google street view for a few minutes under firefox 37.0.2.

Switched to Nouveau recently due to issues with NVIDIA proprietary driver for this GeForce 6600 AGP card.

Following is the lockup trace from kern.log:

[b (ben-ekran)]

This bug was not reproducible using yesterday’s daily build of Vivid.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

B. Bogart, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Would you need a backport to a release prior to Vivid, or may this be closed as Status Invalid?

[b (ben-ekran)]

Christopher: What exactly do you mean by "Would you need a backport to a release prior to Vivid".

I plan to stick to 14.04 LTS until its end of life, so if a backport of xorg/nouveau is available it would help me avoid these very irritating soft-lockups.

Please advise.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

B. Bogart, to see if this is already resolved, could you please upgrade to the enablement stack as outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack and advise if this is reproducible?

[b (ben-ekran)]

Christopher: The issue does seem resolved after installing the LTS enablement stacks. I'll test for a few days and mark this bug invalid if it does not return.
