[Bug 1268669] Re: Lenovo T440p (Haswell/NVidia optimus gfx) flaky unless I blacklist nouveau

 

This is a known issue, investigated at https://github.com/Bumblebee-
Project/bbswitch/issues/78 under the title "Memory/data corruption /
crash on Lenovo T440p (GT 730M)".

abbradar suggests that "Working workarounds are either downgrading bios
to 1.14 (solves the problem completely) or using acpi_call to disable
nvidia completely (if you are not using nvidia and are concerned about
power consumption only)."

Title:
  Lenovo T440p (Haswell/NVidia optimus gfx) flaky unless I blacklist
  nouveau

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have a new Lenovo T440p laptop, which has a Haswell CPU and NVidia
  GPU in an "optimus" setup.  In a default 14.04 install, the system is
  quite flaky: suspend doesn't work and doing lspci apparently corrupts
  memory (the system hits random weird failures and then freezes about
  10 seconds after running lspci).  If I blacklist the nouveau module
  then the system seems to work fine (suspend/resume is good and lspci
  doesn't cause problems).
