[Touch-packages] [Bug 1644661] Re: Xorg crash 2. nouveau, Thunderbird, Firefox => System-(Freeze)-Crash with Stripes-Screen

2018-07-17 Thread gf
Hello Piraten,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with nvidia and 
Thunderbird.  You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu and Thunderbird 
have been updated since then. 
 
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the 
ticket? 
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to 
this bug? 
If you are, could you let us know and run the following (only once):
 
apport-collect BUGNUMBER
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this 
particular issue. 

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better. 
G

Total (Freeze-)Crash
  --
  Later, even with DISabled Hardware-Acceleration, starting both, Firefox and 
Thunderbird led to the System-Crash.
  (Sometimes, the System with nouveau booted and auto-logined into a Black 
Screen with a Mouse-Pointer. Nevertheless the System seemed to work and could 
be rebooted normally.)

  After cold Reboot, i tried again to switch back from nouveau- to

  What seemed to help was:
  
  > Boot > Grub-2 > "Erweiterte Optionen für Ubuntu" > "Ubuntu, mit Linux 
4.4.0-47-generic (upstart)" (UPSTART!)
  => Auto-Login
  >  Firefox / Thunderbird => seem to work stable!
  => After half an Hour of testing:
  >  open Firefox (Hardware-Acceleration disabled) 
  => System-(Freeze)-Crash with Stripes-Screen
  -
  Because this is far more stable: 
  Changed Standard-Boot in Grub-2 to UpStart instead of SystemD
