Perhaps oddly (perhaps not oddly at all) I decided to reboot and select GNOME Classic rather than booting into the standard GNOME Shell and it seems to work fine - no screen tearing or X-freezes under fairly heavy use. So maybe nouveau itself is simply not capable of running GNOME Shell.
I find that a bit odd as I'd assumed both use mutter but Tim could probably provide some insight in that regard. I should probably try that same kernel with Ubuntu in a Unity session to see what happens. ATM I'm inclined to think that kernel fixes this specific issue, but that other underlying issues exist in nouveau itself which may actually be an Xorg issue beyond the scope of this bug ................ or is it??????? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1412602 Title: No live DE in Vivid using nouveau w/GeForce 7025/nForce 630a To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1412602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
