I finally picked up a spare USB thumb drive and set it up as a Live USB with the Aug 31 build of Quantal. Just to be sure, I went back and checked with my old Precise Live CD, and the bug appears for both versions in a live boot too. While both live-boots also respond to the "boot-from-battery" workaround, I think there's a bug in the Quantal version of nouveau or something because although the splash screen appears for a USB boot of Quantal on battery, the screen then freezes with static (but I can hear sounds in the background).
One other thing I'm going to try is setting up a Live USB of the AMD64 version to check. While I'm not expecting it too, I'll let you know if that one behaves differently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009312 Title: GPU loads unreliably, possible kernel timeout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1009312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
