dmesg (filtered)

I upgraded to Fedora 16 today, and I'm seeing glitches now and then as well as varying performance. In dmesg there is also buttloads of messages from nouveau (see attachment).

My hardware is a Quadro NVS 140M.

Previous version was Fedora 14, so I have no idea how it behaved with gnome-shell 3.0.

Comment 1 Pierre Ossman 2011-11-15 17:15:01 UTC
I've found that using the nautilus preview feature with large images is very good at breaking the driver, so if you have some debug output you need, I've now found a good way to reproduce problems.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 12:27:46 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 12:43:59 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 4 Pierre Ossman 2013-05-31 08:33:55 UTC
Anyone looking at this? It's a bit annoying to have to constantly restart gnome shell (and sometimes the entire machine).

Comment 5 Pierre Ossman 2013-08-13 17:35:35 UTC
Much worse after upgrading to Fedora 19.

Comment 6 Pierre Ossman 2014-02-08 12:39:42 UTC
Seems to happen when large pixmaps are needed. Poor management of running out of texture memory?

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 08:40:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.

of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you

to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.
