The second bug was definitely a dupe, the problem seems to be with threaded opengl. Nouveau does not currently support this..
The following hack fixes the issue in a nasty way by creating separate screen objects with the same drm device. libdrm is only thread-safe with libdrm 2.4.54 or later. This probably won't break vdpau, though I'm not completely sure.. The real fix is making nouveau thread-safe, it's been discussed on the #nouveau channel: http://people.freedesktop.org/~cbrill/dri- log/?channel=nouveau&date=2014-06-04 ** Attachment added: "Awful awful hack." https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1309044/+attachment/4125841/+files/patch ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309044 Title: Unity webapps crash Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my computer Status in Accelerated Xorg driver for nVidia cards: New Status in Oxide Webview: New Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: SInce I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS some weeks ago, every time I started the new Ubuntu web browser and started using it there was a time when Ubuntu stopped working and I could only move the cursor, without being able to switch to a terminal window or anything else. The only thing I could do is to turn off my computer from the power button. Now I have reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 LTS again and the problem still appears in Unity webapps like Twitter. Unfortunately, my computer did not give me any crash report or anything to send, but I can only send my laptop information. I'm using a Sony VPFC12M1E/H laptop with an Intel Core i5, 4 GB of RAM, a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (with a nouveau driver) and a dual boot with Windows 8.1 Update 1.
