Etienne URBAH, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as: kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc6 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- 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/1396840 Title: Module nouveau systematically crashes after a few minutes, whereas module nvidia from nvidia-331-updates crashes only after several hours of work Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Module 'nouveau' systematically crashes after a few minutes, whereas module 'nvidia' from 'nvidia-331-updates' crashes only after several hours of work. $ uname -r 3.16.0-25-generic $ dpkg-query -W 'linux-*image-*3.16.0-25*' linux-image-3.16.0-25-generic 3.16.0-25.33 linux-image-extra-3.16.0-25-generic 3.16.0-25.33 linux-signed-image-3.16.0-25-generic 3.16.0-25.33 $ lsmod | head -1 ; lsmod | grep '^nouveau' Module Size Used by nouveau 1234845 3 $ sudo lspci -nn -vv -s 03:00.0 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400] [10de:0867] (rev b1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Apple Inc. iMac 9,1 [106b:00ad] Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 256 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 45 Region 0: Memory at d2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Region 1: Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 3: Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] Region 5: I/O ports at 1000 [size=128] Expansion ROM at d3000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [68] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 00000000fee0300c Data: 4152 Kernel driver in use: nouveau ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: linux-image-extra-3.16.0-25-generic 3.16.0-25.33 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-25.33-generic 3.16.7 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-25-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: urbah 3073 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Thu Nov 27 02:05:32 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=d78e46a2-825e-4ad0-8f14-c7d2935c33c7 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-11-03 (23 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Release amd64 (20141022.1) MachineType: Apple Inc. iMac9,1 ProcFB: 0 nouveaufb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-25-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=b587542c-4076-491a-ae4d-21942b20daf6 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.16.0-25-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.16.0-25-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.138 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 04/27/09 dmi.bios.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.bios.version: IM91.88Z.008D.B08.0904271717 dmi.board.asset.tag: Base Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: Mac-F2218FC8 dmi.board.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset Tag# dmi.chassis.type: 13 dmi.chassis.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.chassis.version: Mac-F2218FC8 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAppleInc.:bvrIM91.88Z.008D.B08.0904271717:bd04/27/09:svnAppleInc.:pniMac9,1:pvr1.0:rvnAppleInc.:rnMac-F2218FC8:rvr:cvnAppleInc.:ct13:cvrMac-F2218FC8: dmi.product.name: iMac9,1 dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: Apple Inc.
