upstream actually suggested earlier to disable nouveau modeset by default, so that it would have to be explicitly enabled if needed.. and it usually isn't, since it's more or less just getting in the way when trying to get the system installed with the NVIDIA driver

Because of this, `lspci` freezes, so reporting an issue is impossible either with ubuntu-bug or sosreport (in both cases, the log gathering stops when trying to get the output from lspci). In addition, when nouveau is enabled: - the touchpad becomes unresponsive or behaves in a very weird way (slowing down, jumping), forcing me to use an external mouse or the little pointer in the middle of the keyboard. - the device cannot be powered off or restarted. It freezes and nothing can be done (I tried SysRq+REISUB to no avail) To avoid this issue, I need to launch the live USB with the following command line: $ cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=nouveau --- (that is, add `modprobe.blacklist=nouveau` to the command line in Grub) In the BIOS, I activated both GPUs (Intel and nvidia), which is the default settings.
