I have the same problem on a Dell E521, which is AMD64 dual core + GeForce 7300 LE, 4GB ram, with Kubuntu Gutsy 32 bit. When I got past the Bug #157773 and managed to get the nvidia_new driver to load, then I got this bug, constant hard lockup!.
Desktop affects are turned off, if I enable them it does not last long before lock up. Most often the screen saver (non GL type) triggers the lock up, but less often it just occurs randomly. No keys have any effect except Ctrl+Alt+SysReq+r, Ctrl+Alt+SysReq+b. I dont think Ctrl+Alt+SysReq+s,e, i or u work as I get inode errors after the reboot. I am back on the nv driver until this is fixed. -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lock-Ups with dual core + 7300 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
