Late to this....but on 14.04 Studio I get hangs from all NVIDIA drivers for my Nvidia Quadro 4000 - even the latest. I don't get this with the Nouveau driver...but the resolution is 800x600 with that.
I am commenting because I am wondering if the issue is heat....variable crashes at different times doing different things....but more common when viewing videos ie. when more GPU heat. GPU here was running 80-87 degC - despite many fans in the case...even when not doing much. Vacuuming the fan on the video card and all the case fans has it running around 49-60 degC (watching videos). So far no crashes....but I am only an hour or so in....they can happen anytime, so we will see over the next couple of days. ....posted in the vain hope that it might help someone who has also been suffering this pain. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033263 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 freezes with nvidia drivers Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After activiting Nvidia drivers complete freezes (only hard reset works). Mouse cursor moves, all else seems to come to an instant halt. Hardware: Acer Aspire 7520, Geforce 8400m G (shared memory). (Re)installing Nouveau drivers 'solves' the problem. Newer Nvidia drivers from PPA unsucceslful as well (same problem). Laptop works like a charm with 11.10 and nvidia drivers.
