[Trisquel-users] Freezing/Hang issues - Desktop with 4.5.1

[trist . d . smith]

Hi,

I tried to post this before, but for some reason it was marked as spam, and  
didn't show..


Using Trisquel 4.5.1 and liking the I'm using a free distro feeling.

Hardware:
AMD Sempron 140
Nvidia Geforce GT 220 PCI-E
1GiB RAM



Currently, the only issue I'm having is Trisquel freezing/hanging. I think it  
may have to do with the video card, but I'm not sure.


Checked h-node to see if my vid card was listed, and found this:  
http://www.h-node.com/videocards/view/en/154/nVidia-Corporation-GT216--GeForce-GT-330M---rev-a2-/1/1/NVIDIA/undef/undef/PCI-E/undef


Note the GT 216, on Wikipedia the GeForce GT 220 and 330m have the same  
codename, so I thought it may work since the 330m did.



Below is what another user did:

installation of libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental (or nouveau-dri respectively in  
Parabola GNU/Linux-Libre) is needed for proper GPU acceleration


http://www.h-node.com/notebooks/view/en/100/R580/1/1/undef/undef/undef/undef/undef

And it worked great, it didn't seem to freeze, and I was able to play  
yo-frankie fairly well.


But after a few hours it froze again.

I read this:  
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.nouveau/7185

It somewhat describes my situation.


What are some things I can do to further troubleshoot this issue?
Will I need to use another video card, is it even the video card?
I'm sure checking logs could help, but not sure which, could anyone point me  
in the right direction here too?


Help is appreciated, thank you.

Not at the computer at the moment, but I'll check the logs.

I think it's the vid card too.. sadly.
But, it happened before I installed that driver, I thought it would help.

Thanks everyone, I'll post back the log if I can't understand something.

Cheers.

Happened to me today as well.
I went to post something, it was blocked, and there was a link to message  
someone about it. Hope it goes through soon.
