Nouveau randomly freezes system

[Jason Yundt]

If I'm running Nouveau, my system randomly lockups.

WORKAROUND: Use the nvidia proprietary drivers.

Jason Yundt, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Could you please run the following command once from a terminal by ensuring you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information:
apport-collect -p xorg 1584496

When reporting xorg related bugs in the future, please do so via the above method. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Do I need to have the nouveau driver installed before running that command? I installed the proprietary nvidia one a while ago to avoid this problem.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Jason Yundt, it's fine if you just want to run it with the nvidia drivers installed. However, in order to obtain debugging information, you would have to uninstall the nvidia driver, at least while capturing requested logs.
