Ubuntu Release: 12.04 (PP Beta 2 with full updates for Apr 15, 2012)
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04
Package and Version:
nvidia-current 295.40-0ubuntu1
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.40.run (binary installer from NVidia FTP)
I have seen this behavior in 3 machines today. In at least one of them, the performance got back to normal after:
- Uninstalling nvidia-*;
- Making sure nouveau wouldn't auto-load after removing nvidia-current (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.con - added "Blacklist nouveau);
- Downloading / installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.40.run from NVdia FTP (download.nvidia.com);
- Unchecking "Sync to VBlank" in CCSM/OpenGL Plugin;
- Unchecking "Sync to VBlank" in nvidia-settings (at XServer XVideo Settings and OpenGL Settings);
I have verified that the softlinks at /usr/lib/*GL* and /usr/lib32/*GL* are correct, unlike previous problems we had with NVidia weird performance specially in OO (rare reports in PP).
/var/log/Xorg.0.log displays no warning/error or unusual info regarding NVidia/NVRM and neither does dmesg.
Some users are reporting crashes of compiz (in which Unity launcher / global panel) disappears). This is not the case for me.
Modinfo confirms I am using the correct kernel module version (295.40) and lsmod shows no trace of other vga driver, other nvidia module besides the correct one or nouveau.
Fell free to contact me if any further info is needed.
Thank you,
Alvaro "Effenberg0x0" Leal
