[Bug 1822026] Re: Live USB freezes or cannot complete install when nouveau driver is loaded

[Pierre Equoy]

This archive contains the data gathered by sosreport from a live session
when nouveau is blacklisted.

You may have to `sudo tar xvf sosreport-ubuntu-20190328033617.tar.xz` to
be able to extract it.

Title:
  Live USB freezes or cannot complete install when nouveau driver is
  loaded

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I boot the Disco 19.04 beta live USB, I can see a lot of errors
  related to nouveau in dmesg.

  Because of this, `lspci` freezes, so reporting an issue is impossible
  either with ubuntu-bug or sosreport (in both cases, the log gathering
  stops when trying to get the output from lspci).

  To avoid this issue, I need to launch the live USB with the following
  command line:

  $ cat /proc/cmdline 
  BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash modprobe.blacklist=nouveau ---

  (that is, add `modprobe.blacklist=nouveau` to the command line in
  Grub)
