Wierd Nouveau Problem after Kernel Upgrade to 6.2
by AsgAnquietas from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DMGZ)
Hello,
After googling and attempting everything I can think of, I am giving up and asking for your help... :-(
In one classroom where I teach, I have an older PC which runs KUbuntu 22.04.3 LTS with the newly freshly upgraded Kernel to 6.2.0-26-generic version.
For the moment, I have 2 kernels:
Code:administrator@instructor-pc [~] $ ls -l /boot/ |grep vmli
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 aug 3 17:58 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-6.2.0-26-generic
-rw------- 1 root root 12224488 iul 10 20:41 vmlinuz-5.19.0-50-generic
-rw------- 1 root root 13770312 iul 13 18:31 vmlinuz-6.2.0-26-generic
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 aug 3 17:58 vmlinuz.old -> vmlinuz-5.19.0-50-genericBooting the new Kernel breaks things.
Booting the old Kernel everything works greatly.
I have an old Nvidia Card:
Code:administrator@instructor-pc [~] $ lspci |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8500 GT] (rev a1)Naturally, I use nouveau.
NVidia Drivers are no longer available for this type of card (in the normal repos).
Doing (ubuntu-drivers devices) does not reveal any available drivers.
And even if they were, I don't want to rebuild Nvidia module everytime a kernel upgrade is performed... from what I heard, NVidia Drivers are sometimes worse than Nouveau.
Nouveau works fine for me... worked, being the operative word... now, it cannot find/load 2 firwmare files...
Yes, I have already installed nouveau-firmware:
Code:nouveau-firmware is already the newest version (20091212-0ubuntu1).A little more info:
