Re: [Bug 1860925] Re: Xorg freeze / nouveau driver fault ?
Hi I was sort of afraid of the age issue. but having just weaned wife off one EOL O/S probably don't want to step back to another with limited life :-) Looks like hardware upgrade required.

[Bug 1860925] Re: Xorg freeze / nouveau driver fault ?
Nvidia recommends driver version 304 for your model of GPU, but unfortunately that's now too old to support and stopped shipping with Ubuntu after 16.04. So you have a few options: * Keep this bug open and try to solve it by trying newer kernel versions like https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5/ * Reinstall the machine with Ubuntu 16.04 which has an official Nvidia driver that supports the hardware. * Change the graphics card to something newer, which will then avoid the need for the unreliable nouveau driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860925 Title: Xorg freeze / nouveau driver fault ?

Re: [Bug 1860925] Re: Xorg freeze / nouveau driver fault ?
Hi Basic symptom is screen/system locks up, and PC needs a power cycle to recover it ... it's completely un-response to mouse/keyboard. This is my wife's PC, which I've recently weaned off Win7. A vanilla installation of Ubunto used for browsing/e-mail (Firefox/Thunderbird). Initially I installed 19.04 a few weeks ago which had a number of lockups, and then a few days ago updated to 19.10 which then also exhibited the problem. Since 19.10 didn't fix the problem I sat down and delved a bit deeper and generated the bug report. I haven't identified any obvious trigger activity/application, and I've seen it occur during login process and also when launching Mozilla Thunderbird. Checking syslog I can usually find one of the "nouveau MMIO fault" messages timed just before the lockup (see submitted syslog dump); but when looking in more detail to make this report I also found some apparently occurring during 'normal' operation - i.e system still operational. Any suggestions about gathering more useful info for you ?

This looks like a nouveau kernel problem, but can you describe the problem you are experiencing? ** Tags added: nouveau ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860925 Title: Xorg freeze / nouveau driver fault ?
