[Bug 94739] Re: [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d is enabled(solved)
My apologies to everyone who tried to help me. The problem was in my BIOS. When I installed My PCI-Express video card the BIOS set itself to PCI, so the OS would end up looking in the wrong slot for video :( ** Summary changed: - [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d is enabled + [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d is enabled (solved) -- [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d is enabled (solved) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94739 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

I'm back just to post an update in hopes I can help make Ubuntu the best ever. ( a postcard from the edge ;) ) I've used many Linux distros lately, and almost all had a similar lockup on my hardware. ( note to self: no more compaq ) Now I'm using Sabayon/Gentoo. 2.6.21, 64 bit, it had the lockup problem until someone mentioned using the nvidia driver vers; 1.0.9755-r1. this has completely fixed that random lockup.:) http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5t=8944 I still like Ubuntu. I'm crossing fingers and toes hoping you guys use 2.6.23 with nv 1.0.9755-r1 for 8.04 ;) -- [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94739 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

(I'm not an Ubuntu dev). I don't think you are going to have much luck debugging this unless you know how to set up a serial console and I would be surprised if someone built a debug kernel just for you, however there's nothing stopping you rebuilding your own kernel with various extra options. My feeling is that having a kernel with more debug features on would not help you as it sounds like the problem lies in the binary part of the NVIDIA module and you will not have any debug symbols for that (only NVIDIA do). It sounds more and more like your best chance with this is to talk to NVIDIA (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678 )... -- [nvidia-glx] Frequent lockups when NV 3d is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94739 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

Its hard to say. But I'm now thinking that I'm chasing two bugs that cause the same lockup :( After making that change as per bug115267 I didn't notice the random lockup, but I still induced a lockup by dragging a window. I'll try to find time to chase that separately.

BTW: if you want to try building a package of the newer drivers you may want to give Envy (http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html ) a try.

Ric95: I suspect your best bet is to talk to NVIDIA directly about this (e.g. via http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14 ). Before they look at any problem they will ask you to install the latest drivers from their website.

Unduplicating this bug based on Ric95's recent comment. Ric95: Generally speaking only one driver (the latest driver that supports your card) will be recommended for a given card. Anything else may coincidentally work but won't be supported by NVIDIA (but you will have to check with NVIDIA on that). I suspect an apt-get purge won't be any better than a remove.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 109643 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109643 Ric95: Drat. It looks like powernowd wasn't the sole cause of your problems. It's probably unwise to uninstall powernowd though. There's nothing the coders of powernowd can do about because their program is just a daemon that asks the kernel to change the speed of the CPU. There's nothing the kernel developers can do because they don't have the source to the NVIDIA binary drivers. If there is a problem with CPU scaling and the NVIDIA binary drivers the only people who can explain where the problem lies and how to fix it are NVIDIA as they are the only ones with the source code to their driver. That's the way it goes with binary only drivers... As for whether things are any better with nvidia-glx-new... I don't know.
