This seem to be related to frame buffer mode. If I enable text mode console in the grub script, then the console Ctrl+Alt+Fx works fine. But when returning to the graphic screen Ctrl+Alt+F7 the screen is totally corrupted. Moving the mouse repaints the screen back to normal. So far it has not locked up but this maybe pure chance. Also disabling splash in grub stops the corrupted text characters during boot. Perhaps plymouth uses frame buffer mode too? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989850 Title: nvidia driver causes console freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/989850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have a very similar issue with Nvidia driver as well. Mine is a 12.04 AMD64 machine. The symptom is very similar. Everything worked fine until when I try to logout (which I believe will go back to Framebuffer based lightdm) the machine freezes. Nouveau driver doesn't have the same problem and I think it is blacklisted when you install the nvidia additional driver. When I try to ping the machine, response coming up but with a extremely high latency, which indicates that something is still running but is using all CPU utilization. I'm on a AMD fusion based machine with APU hence I reverted back to AMD video. However would like to get Nvidia going as it offers way better video decoding hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989850 Title: nvidia driver causes console freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/989850/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
