Hey all, |

My desktop system has an NVidia graphics card that identifies as: |

From time to time, maybe once or twice a week, my system will fail. The |
| 28 |
symptoms are: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
- Graphics freeze, no mouse movement, and they never start working no |
| 31 |
matter how long I wait |
| 32 |
- Sound is working (spotify keeps playing) |
| 33 |
- Network connectivity works (I can ssh in) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
When this happens and I ssh in and check out dmesg, I always see an error |
| 36 |
like the following: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
[11741.905192] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: SCHED_ERROR 0a [CTXSW_TIMEOUT] |
| 39 |
[11741.905202] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: gr engine fault on channel 10, |
| 40 |
recovering... |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Sometimes I see a lot of those errors, sometimes just one. Whenever the |
| 43 |
system is running normally those don't ever appear. I'm always able to ssh |
| 44 |
in and reboot cleanly. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Does anyone have any idea where I can start digging in to find out what's |
| 47 |
happening? Are these fifo errors happening in some logic that I can |
| 48 |
disable with a kernel command line option? |
| 49 |

Thanks, |
