[Bug 999109] Re: complete freeze of Ubuntu after some time using Java, wine, games (GL?)

 

OK Thanks a lot to both Jonas and Christopher. You are very kind.

At the end there was a problem with nouveau. I did nothing but in an
upgrade nouveau and nividia propriertary drivers get meshed each other.
( I did not make any driver change).

There was also a problem with /etc/modprobe.d blacklisted drivers

Finally I succeed by reinstalling Xorg and removing all drivers and
reinstalling nvidia:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

Now seems not to get frozen randomly.

This kind of crashes ( not voluntary)  are quite embarrassing. 
I know nvidia proprietary drivers are a nightmare for our community hopefully we will get rid of them.
Meanwhile please be careful with these upgrades, because leaves the PC unusable.

Best wishes and regards  and thanks a lot once more. 
Victor

Title:
  complete freeze of Ubuntu after some time using Java, wine, games
  (GL?)

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Since I upgraded to 12.10, my computer freezes randomly after some time. If I play Minecraft, it freezes after mac. 30min, if I use my computer normally it only freezes after 1 hour or more. I think it never happened if I used Gnome or Unity 2D (if I didn't play Minecraft there).
  I can't use the mouse or get into the console with Ctrl+Alt+F1, so I have to manually reboot the computer every time it freezes.
