I use Ubuntu 16.10 with GeForce GT 530 (see info below), and nouveau
driver. My system freezes when I open the Browser app. As a workaround I
have installed Firefox in Unity 8, so I can have access to the internet.

Bug description:
I installed Ubuntu 16.10 yesterday and Unity 8 constantly freezes
after I do some clicking around the desktop (using Browser, System
Settings and the like), I am running it on Nouveau driver for GTX970M,
I refrained from installing proprietary drivers to test Unity 8, but
it is unusable and after it freezes I can only power off my laptop as
nothing works. Is this a known issue? Also Unity 7 does not load at
all, but I will post a separate bug for that.
