Gerhard Burger, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=UK an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.60). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.60 precise ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277559 Title: Unknown chipset Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am trying to install Ubuntu on a new laptop and it's giving me a headache :P On boot I get the message: [ 9.128711] nouveau E [ DEVICE] [0000:01:00.0] unknown chipset, 0x108120a1 [ 9.128742] nouveau E [ DRM] failed to create 0x80000080, -22 ...
