From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2007 05:01:51 + Subject: [Bug 145112] Re: Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups Wow. Thanks for the reversion version number -- 09. Compiled the new binary nasty blob driver and so far no lockups. Also edited the Python to enable desktop effects. Thus far, stable with glx! Hopefully the driver will get resolved with the next version. To recap -- download the 09 series driver from Nvidia: amd64 @ http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/100.14.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.09-pkg2.run i386 @ http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.09.html Get your compiling enabled and install the kernel sources: sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-source Restart in your plain mode without X (recovery) and build the blob (failsafe X is a PITA): sh ./NVIDIA And fix your xorg.conf as per your needs. For example: Section Module Load glx Load GLcore Load v4l EndSection and change the driver to nvidia from whatever. WFM and will be a decent crutch until NVidia pulls their greymatter together from the nether regions. -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. 09 has done the trick for me, I am testing both the 32 and 64 bit versiond of Gutsy.

[Bug 145112] Re: Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups
Also having the same problem here. Nvidia 7300, on an ASUS M2NVP-VM, have a 6150 onboard but disabled. AMD X2 4200+ with 2G DDR2 800 ram (4 X 512). I am running Gutsy beta, video driver is 100.14.19 with Compiz-Fusion enable, experiencing about 1 or more an hour. None with affects disabled. I did not want to install 100.14, but wanted to install 9636, but system would not let me. I also tried turning off cpu scaling in bios. (Cool and Quiet) Tried everything I could think of to remove 100.14 but again was thwarted by system. This is on a generic (i386) kernel. I have another Gutsy install on the same machine but with the 64 kernel. I was able to install 963X, it is having no lockup problems at all with Compiz running and I can run with cpu scaling. I had the same problems on Friesty with the 9755 and the 100.11 drivers. And again with the 96XX drivers, no problems I think it is a nvidia driver problem with the 6 and 7 series video GPUs and any of the 97XX and higher drivers. -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just picked up the following from the Nvidia support site nV News Forums Linux Support Forums NVIDIA Linux RE: Demand on WORKING drivers 10-03-07, 12:59 PM #36 zander NVIDIA Corporation Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 2,781 Default Re: Demand on WORKING drivers I'd like to follow up on Aaron's update, since not all posts in this thread refer to the same hardware. We identified a regression between 100.14.09 and 100.14.11 specific to G72 based graphics cards (GeForce 7300 GS, etc.) on certain systems; this problem is being investigated. However, there are no known regressions between the two releases affecting G8x GPUs. __ -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lynches / Lock-Ups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 124601] Boot failure with multiple displays/cards enabled
Public bug reported: System Motherboard ASUS M2NPV+VM (onboard video nVidia 6150, GF 430 chipset) CPU AMD 64x2 4200 Memory 1 GB DDR2 800 (6400) Running 7.04 generic I386(up to date) with nVidia 9755 drivers. Problem, added a nVidia GS 7200, with 2 VGA monitors, left TV out connected to MB. System will now not boot, get splash, then blank screens (get blank screens, can not get to tty1 etc), or go into safe without disabling onboard video. I have tried booting with monitor hooked up to MB also no go. This is a multi-boot machine Ubuntu, (32 and 64), PClinuxOS 2007 and XP Pro. BTW PClinuxOS and XP have no problems booting or running with onboard enabled. Any ideas about what I might have to tdo to system to get Ubuntu to work the way I want? (2 monitors on 7200 for twinview and TV to 6150 to watch DVDs) System works perfectly good with either video alone, but not with both of them enabled at the same time, and only with Ubuntu, because PCLinuxOS 2007 and XP will boot properly, no matter what way I have the bios configured. Boot is failing before I get to gui login. It does not seem to be a nVidia driver problem because I can still boot into PCLinux 2007 is not affected although it is using 10014 driver while Ubuntu is the 8755, and it happens the same way with either the generic 32 or 64 boot. What logs do you want? I can cause the problem to happen and get them for you. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Boot failure with multiple displays/cards enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124601 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

nVidia driver is 9755, not 8755, sorry. -- Boot failure with multiple displays/cards enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124601 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
