My PC with Ubuntu 18.04 keeps freezing randomly. I know, it's very often topic. I've tried multiple nvidia-xxx versions, with no luck.
ubuntu-drivers devices
- == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==

- vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
- model : G92 [GeForce 8800 GT]
- driver : nvidia-304 - third-party free
- driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free recommended
- driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
Last time it worked with Ubuntu 16.04 + nvidia-304_304.135. After upgrade do to 17.10 it was freezing too. Upgrade to 18.04 did not helped either.
nvidia-304_304.135 - old
- does not boot to login screen
- it's in black screen loop (some booting text is shown, but refreshed every 3 seconds)
nvidia-304.137 - third-party free
- it's the same as 304.135
nvidia-340 - distro non-free recommended (ubuntu-drivers autoinstall)
- freezing (even 2 times, when I wrote this question)
- rendering works nice and smooth
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
- does not freeze
- it has terrible slow rendering
nvidia-390 (from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa)
- does not seems to work, because it's slow as nouveau
I don't need nvidia driver, I can live with nouveau (with repaired rendering). Any tips to how to get further? (repair nouveau rendering or get non-freezing driver working?)
