Also affected on a Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc7800p Convertible Minitower/0AACh, BIOS 786F1 v01.32 07/21/2011 with nvidia GeForce GT 520 board. Workarounds by Rebecca Palmer at #5 (many thanks!) did not entirely suffice: Had to additionally add blacklist nouveau to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

The full workaround sequence is the one I posted in the updated description, not the comments. (There's no such package as just nouveau, so sudo apt-get remove nouveau won't do anything, and the drivers dialog does a remove not the here-required purge.) I also have the nouveau W[
