[290.10] Systemfreeze NVRM xid:31 (Ubuntu 11.10 Kernel 3.0.0-13)

[vojta]

I have also tried changing card in my notebook, however, the new card is same model (NVIDIA Quadro NVS 5100M) and I have same problems. Maybe there is really really small chance, that both cards have hardware problem, but I guess it is more likely, that it is software-related problem.

Could someone from NVIDIA explain us those error messages with Xid at least, please? Thank you.

In the meantime, I got 2 total system freezes with the new GT 430. At the 2nd time, the PC apparently fired into my network, disabling other PCs.

No OpenGL, no composite, nothing in the logs.

I experience similar problems on the computer listed in my signature called "Desktop" on Gentoo Linux. When it happens it's always while starting X on boot up. It happens in approx. every 2nd boot.

When it happens, the computer freezes completely and not even Magic SysRq or the three-finger salute (CTRL+ALT+DEL) helps.

Did you get a chance to test 295.17 too?

[cthulhu]

Assuming you're talking to me:

I haven't tested 295.17 yet, as I mainly have packages the Gentoo devs consider stable on this particular machine.

I will however try it, as this problem has increased in frequency lately.

EDIT: removed unnecesarry quote.

[Licaon]

It's common courtesy to not use a quote if one is answering to the immediate previous poster

Also, it's useful to test the latest beta driver too, the changelog does not cover all the changes, like 295.17 fixed a bug regarding KDE although it does mention it.

[cthulhu]

I've been running with 295.17 (and kernel 3.2.2) for a couple of days now without any problems. So far, so good, but it's still a bit too early to say for sure.

[cthulhu]

Dang! Hit the bug again today. Will try upgrading kernel to 3.2.6 or newer when time allows it. I do however strongly suspect the nvidia kernel module and/or driver is the source of this error.
EDIT: Just noticed the new 295.20 nvidia driver. Will install it immediately and report back at some point. I'll be moving next week, so it might be a while before I report back.

[sidamos]

It seems, it is NOT fixed. Just had a total system freeze again. Running kernel 3.2.1 and 295.20.

[vojta]

My problems were probably caused by hardware failure. HP buybacked my old laptop and I currently have laptop with NVIDIA Quadro 1000M and everything works like a charm.

[cthulhu]

Hit this bug again the other day (while starting X.org during boot).

Nvidia, please fix this, as it's getting pretty annoying.
