Package: nvidia-kernel-dkms
Version: 195.36.31-3
Severity: normal
I'm in testing upgrading daily and following the drivers from unstable.
About a week ago (when I was still running the previous nvidia driver
x.24 I believe), I suddenly started to experience hang ups.
What happens is that either, everything freezes, except for the mouse
cursor, or the screen starts flickering heavily and everything freezes
(couldn't find the mouse cursor to check). So, sometimes the screen is
flickering heavily (the lower on the screen, the more flickering), or no
flickering, but in any case it hangs up.
This happens within a few minutes after startup. But, not always. If it
doesn't happen withing a few minutes, it just runs normally.
I upgraded yesterday to the latest nVidia drivers, but that didn't fix
it, as I just got it again.
I can only recover by using Alt-SysRq triggers to reboot.
I see the following in kernel.log:
Sep 14 18:38:05 sonata kernel: [ 360.678131] NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 6, PE0001

Sep 14 18:39:52 sonata kernel: [ 467.257797] NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel
0000007e
and this in Xorg.0.log:
(WW) Sep 14 18:37:58 NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x00009074, 0x00009dd4)
(WW) Sep 14 18:38:05 NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x00009074, 0x00009dd4)
There are no other obvious things in the logging that could be related.
