[Bug 1314368] Re: [HP Pavilion dv8t-1200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC] Freezing in Ubuntu 14.04 (NVIDIA GT216M [GeForce GT 230M]

 

I recently downgraded from 14.10 to 14.04 due to these bugs:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autokey/+bug/1395415
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/1297849

After doing so, I ran into the bug that his reported here again. At first I thought I had a bug in Chromium:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1395794

But, I just now remember that I have to install nvidia drivers, or the
machine will lock up.

This is bug is still and issue.

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since installing Ubuntu 14.04, onto a HP Pavilion dv8t-1200 (WF681AV)

  Typically at first, I'm able to move my mouse-cursor, but after a few
  seconds that freezes up too.
