C de-Avillez, as per http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e6410 an update is available for your BIOS (A15). If you update to this, does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a15 needs-bisect needs-upstream-testing ** Description changed: Upgraded to Raring; when booting using kernel 3.7.0-2-generic, a login to Kubuntu/Ubuntu fails with the errors shown in the attachments. This has been happening since Quantal, around Beta2 -- on Quantal, I would have such a failure (or a GPU lock-up, like in bug 1048701) every so often: on Ubuntu, after a few hours, on Kubuntu usually on logout/login, or -- just once in ~ 2 weeks, during normal usage. On Raring it seems guaranteed to fail *always* on login. Once failed, laptop has to be power-cycled for the display to work again. Booting back on the current Quantal kernel (3.5.0-19) allows me to work again. + + WORKAROUND: nvidia-experimental-310 works on 3.7.0-x ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.4-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.7.0-2.8-generic 3.7.0-rc5 Uname: Linux 3.7.0-2-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.6.2-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CheckboxSubmission: c8a7d84e13c3b258e707f056604eb0e0 CheckboxSystem: d00f84de8a555815fa1c4660280da308 Date: Mon Nov 19 11:40:07 2012 DistUpgraded: 2012-11-19 08:24:53,019 DEBUG failed to SystemUnLock() (E:Not locked) DistroCodename: raring DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-07-02 (140 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120701) MachineType: Dell Inc.
