** Description changed:

- Xubuntu groovy QA-test (live) on 
+ Xubuntu groovy QA-test (live) on
  hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)
  
  No issues during test before this issue, I'd mounted an external drive
  and was using random found files to open & view files using installed
  apps. On opening a movie type of file, it started playing in parole on
  one display, I was jumping forward to different parts of the video file
  expecting to soon close & it and move to next file, alas both displays
  became unusuble
  
  ** problem
  
  at first no issues moving the 'video' forward, then both screens
  suddenly showed blocky-graphics (pre-digital era untuned-tv) which
  seemed to change on mouse clicks. At first I found pattern hard to
  detect, as it switched black&white, colored-blocks, then black-screen
  with cursor.
  
  It settled down to black-screen with cursor (correct except black
  screen), right-click would make it black-white-blocky (like untuned
  analogue tv), right click again and it would return to black background
  with normal cursor. On occasion both displays flicker white though (the
  image on right click seems to vary on where the mouse-pointer is)
  
  My Xubuntu/XFCE gui session is gone & unusuable.
  
  ** expected result
  
  I expected `parole` to cope with my various jumps in the video file,
  until I closed it.
  
  I see no squashfs errs in dmesg/journalctl, both show issues with
  `nouveau` [440.365961]
  
+ Possibly I should have filed against `xserver-xorg-video-nouveau` or
+ even `libdrm-nouveau2` (it was a video playing)
+ 
+ I won't take a photo, it'd require video as screen isn't always static
+ though it is most of the time (depends where pointer is on screen)
