[Desktop-packages] [Bug 549256] Re: [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] video flicker on any I/O activity with nouveau; OK with nv driver
Michael Schmitz, the problem you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please gather the required debugging information from https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ and report this to upstream via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg : Component: Driver/nouveau Version: 7.7 OS: Linux (All) Please post the URL of this new report here so it may be tracked. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549256 Title: [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] video flicker on any I/O activity with nouveau; OK with nv driver Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau Expectation: Default Xorg driver should work with no video artifacts. Observation: Bad screen flicker with default Xorg driver. Details: I installed the 10.04 beta from CD on Wednesday (incidentially, compliments for the smooth install). Already upon installation, the display did flicker badly whenever the CD was read or even the mouse moved. Flicker did already start at the initial splash screen. The system was fully responsive otherwise. On reboot post-installation, gdm came up OK but with the same flicker problems. The 'Monitors' control panel only offered the 2048x1536 resolution at 80 Hz with no other options. Tried to install and use one of the non- free nvidia drivers, this failed because the nouveau kernel module was loaded always and could not be unloaded (drm loads nouveau before framebuffer console init. as near as I can make out).

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 549256] Re: [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] video flicker on any I/O activity with nouveau; OK with nv driver
Christopher, I finally got around to test a recent daily build of trusty (dowloaded on Jan 15th) and the issue still persists. It does start with the splash screen on boot. Even worse, after clicking the 'Try Ubuntu' button, the system locked up hard within less than half a minute (when switching away from the selection screen). DVD activity ceased, and I had to power down the system to get it to restart (the reset switch failed to work). For that reason, I could not run the apport-collect command you gave below. Is there some way to collect the necessary information while booting to a console instead of X, or chrooting into the live system image? Cheers, Michael Michael Schmitz, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.
