[Bug 1502459] Re: Selecting in LibreOffice Writer when running nouveau freezes the system

 

I'm sorry but I will not flash the BIOS. I also don't think that BIOS
has anything to do with the issue since the same machine has been
running Gentoo, KDE Plasma, with 4.2 kernel before Ubuntu, nouveau
driver, with no such issues.

I'll be upgrading 15.04 to 15.10 after it comes out and we'll see if 4.2
fixes this.
