John Neffenger, 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.

The freeze happens with both Mozilla Firefox 8.0 and Chromium 15.0.874.106 (Developer Build 107270 Linux). No updates to the screen occur (no clock updates, for example), but I can SSH into the system to gather information and reboot. There is usually no CPU activity, but one out of the four freezes yesterday had X using over 50 percent CPU usage during the freeze. I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze to capture the dmesg output and Xorg.0.log file for each of the four freezes yesterday. Below are the answers to the questions recommended on that page. Q: When did you upgrade to this version of Ubuntu? When did you first notice the freezes occurring? A: I upgraded about 3 weeks ago and first noticed the freezes about 2 weeks ago while using the Web browser. Q: How frequently do the freezes occur? How many per day would you say you experience? A: They occur about once per week, but yesterday I found a Web site (www.google.ca/nexus) that can cause the freeze each and every time it loads in a Web browser (Firefox and Chromium). Q: List the applications you typically have open at the time of the freeze. A: I usually have open at least the Web browser (Firefox or Chromium) and the Terminal. I may also have open GnuCash, a VirtualBox guest running Windows, NetBeans, and Thunderbird. Q: Think back to the last few times it froze. What activities were you doing in each of those times? A: The last four times it froze, I simply clicked a link to go to the site www.google.ca/nexus or loaded it directly from the address bar. Q: Do you have compiz enabled? Does the issue go away if you disable it? A: I am running Unity 2D, the Unity interface for non-accelerated graphics cards. I see compositing effects, so perhaps I'm running compiz. I'll look into disabling it. Q: If your system is a laptop, do you suspend/resume it? Had you resumed at some point prior to the freezes? A: My system is a Dell Precision 490 Workstation. I suspend it at night, but this freeze occurs even right after a fresh reboot after visiting the Google Nexus page.
