I'm sorry but I will not flash the BIOS. I also don't think that BIOS has anything to do with the issue since the same machine has been running Gentoo, KDE Plasma, with 4.2 kernel before Ubuntu, nouveau driver, with no such issues.
I'll be upgrading 15.04 to 15.10 after it comes out and we'll see if 4.2 fixes this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1502459 Title: Selecting in LibreOffice Writer when running nouveau freezes the system Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Selecting anything in a LibreOffice document freezes the system if the nouveau driver is used.
