[Bug 1467261] [NEW] ubuntu 14.04 hangs showing login screen when using nouveau

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Using ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-55-generic and the nouveau drivers
hangs on the lightdm screen. I cannot enter password or move mouse. I
also cant switch to text mode using ctrl +alt +f1, nor reboot with
REISUB.

* Using kernel 3.13.0-54-generic works, I can login and use the system even when using the nouveau driver
* Using kernel 3.13.0-55-generic with nvidia-331-updates also works.

Proposed solution:
Use the nvidia-311-updates driver instead of the open source nouveau driver.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.
