[Bug 1492934] Re: Kernel sometimes won't boot to login screen

 

The only way for me to be able to send this report in for the nouveau
driver module is to use the proprietary. If I switch back to xorg
version of nouveau I won't be able to use any terminal as the keyboard
stops working when the computer freezes.

Title:
  Kernel sometimes won't boot to login screen

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Mandriva:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I'm using 3.19.0-26-generic as kernel.

  Ubuntu version is:
  Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
  Release:	15.04

  Version of the nouveau driver is:
    Installed: 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1
    Candidate:    1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1
    Version table:
   *** 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2build1 0
          500 http://ftp.acc.umu.se/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  I expected the module to be able to work without freezing the entire system.
  This issue prevents me from getting to the login session.

  I have installed Ubuntu on my brand new laptop which is a Asus N550JK.
  It has Hybrid Graphics (Intel 4th Generation + nVidia GeForce GTX 850M so I was told to nvidia-prime for Optimus.
  Sometimes when I boot the kernel it stops before I see the login window and the computer is completely frozen.

  However if I switch to the proprietary driver for nouveau the computer
  doesn't lock completely anymore.
