Sorry if it's wrong to continue this old thread, but after a good amount of testing (+1 year) I can confirm that both the problem and the solution where the mentioned ones. The problem (random full-system freezes) persists without change, identical. And removing nouveau_dri.so from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ effectively fixes it completely (leaving aside any lost of performance and some warning messages in system upgrades and programs launching[1]). So, after a GREAT thank-you to Ilia, I consult: 1. Is this something that could be fixed? Can I do anything to help? 2. If the only possible/viable solution is the mentioned one (remove nouveau_dri.so), which would be the proper way to make it permanent? 2'. In many dist-upgrades the nouveau_dri.so file is re-created in the same folder, what would be a clean/neat way to handle this? Thanks A LOT again. [1] A lot of lines like these on some dist-upgrades: W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/nvidia/gp100/gr/sw_method_init.bin for module nouveau W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/nvidia/gp100/gr/sw_bundle_init.bin for module nouveau W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/nvidia/gp100/gr/sw_nonctx.bin for module nouveau (...) And a lot of programs producing messages like these on start: libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
