Ubuntu 14.04.2 boots, then freezes after 1-2 mins. Mouse pointer still moves

Question

Ubuntu 14.04.2 installed on MacBook runnig OS X Mavericks.

The Ubuntu installation will boot and seems to behave fine but then after 1-2 minutes it freezes. Note that I can still move the mouse pointer around, but I can't click on anything and the keyboard is not responsive.

Can anyone suggest what may cause this, how to diagnose?

Thanks!

Discovered the problem is with the nouveau display drivers that Ubuntu uses by default. Once booted, I quickly activated the nVidia third party drivers before it froze. Restarted and have had a more consistent experience since.
