Hello,
I recently installed Ubuntu 24.04 on a MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) running a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M adapter.
Unfortunately the computer is constantly freezing.
If I pass "nomodeset" to grub, the nouveau driver is not used and the computer does not freeze so it seems to be related to the nouveau driver.
I am wanting to know if there are any parameters I can pass to nouveau to resolve the freezing.
I have tried temporarily replacing nomodeset with nouveau.noaccel=1 then with nouveau.nofbaccel=1 but both caused the booting to freeze.
I have also tried
temporarily replacing nomodeset with nouveau.modeset=0 to disable nouveau but got a blank screen whilst booting (I've seen this blank screen reported by others on the web).
I should be reporting a bug I assume but when the computer freezes I have to turn the computer off and therefore dmesg is not an option to provide logs.
I have noticed in dmesg however 2 messages that read:
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: 00100000 [] ch 3 [001fa70000 gnome-shell[1509]] subc 3 class 8597 mthd 1304 data 1d1c1b1a
followed by......
nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: DATA_ERROR 00000012 [RT_LINEAR_WITH_ZETA]
These 2 messages are repeated regularly.
Is there anything I can do (like pass any parameters) that may resolve the computer freezing?
Regards,
Flavio
