Bug Description
I've got problems with the nouveau driver. It makes Plasmashell crash every few minutes. Since I don't know what Plasmashell actually does, I don't know which Plasmashell task crashes. Probably it is related to signaling apt package updates.
nvidia-304 driver does not work at all (blank screen)
Hardware:
GeForce 7600 GT
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+
Via Chipset
Asus A8V-VM SE
I already thoroughly tested hard-disk and memory, everything OK. If you can suggest a tool for CPU and GFX burn in test...
If I remember correctly, I experienced the problem with Kubuntu 14.04 LTS, too.
I was able to workaround by installing the the Nvidia driver. In 16.04 the Nvidia driver doesn't work either.
