Hi, I am facing what I suppose to be the same issue on a Dell Optiplex 740, with the same graphic card and almost the same processor (an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+), running the nouveau driver. Xubuntu 14.04 often hangs at boot : it begins with corrupted graphics (very similar of the one attached) on the boot splash followed by a complete freeze of the computer (lightdm never appears and I can't access to TTY). Recently I also tried booting removing the "splash" option in grub (thinking that the problem was comming from the bootsplash), but the computer froze again, so the bootsplash is not the problem.
I have never seen the computer freezing atfter lightm has appeared : it only happened on during the boot. I previously tried Debian Jessie on this computer, with Gnome and Cinnamon, wich both causing corrupted graphics and followed by a complete freeze. Debian Jessie with Xfce never froze. The report is here, including system logs and similar screenshot : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771416 Please apologize if I should instead open another bug report. I would also be glad if I can help : feel free to contact me. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #771416 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=771416 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669935 Title: Ubuntu Freezing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/669935/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
