I was encountering some issues installing 14.04.1 which I'll get into later, but for now I moved on to testing 14.04.2, this one installed w /Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150203), and while 3.16.0-30-generic was affected I pulled 3.16.0-31-generic from trusty-proposed and it appeared to be OK for a while, at least I was not getting the same screen corruption.
In fact I began a forum post from that Trusty install but before I was done the screen became unresponsive, but not entirely frozen because I could move the mouse pointer, then after a minute or two the screen displayed the error in the attached pic. ** Attachment added: "Trusty_full_screen.JPG" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1412602/+attachment/4319358/+files/Trusty_full_screen.JPG -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in 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 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
