Daniel M, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5K_PremiumWiFiAP/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1101). 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 Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Summary changed: - Freeze after selecting text in LO on nVidia + Freeze after selecting text in LO while using nouveau ** Description changed: - I am facing the same issue as other people on this thread: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1453812 - - I am posting this bug report as requested by Christopher M.
