This is a serious issue that has affected a large number of users. In the total absence of any formal word from the Ubuntu developers, I personally am very interested to learn of other users' experiences. Furthermore, I would respectfully suggest that for new and inexperienced users, uncertain whe

I can also confirm that using the 275.09.04 drivers package from the "philip5 ppa" resolved the various issues for me too. In fact it seems to work remarkably well. No more nasty screen artefacts, no more random crashes from gnome-terminal or gedit. Whilst I still maintain that NVIDIA was very slow

@eagles051387 I'm sorry but I beg to differ. I think we CAN pin the blame fairly and squarely on nVidia. This is a copy of the latest response I have received from nVidia's "customer care", following yet another a fairly strongly worded email from me with regard to nVidia's total lack of activit

gnome-terminal is also affected, certainly on my systems. You have to try harder to crash it, but it still crashes. Also there is the matter of the strange on-screen artefacts. Best wishes, G. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvid

FWIW here is the response I received from what nVidia laughingly describes as "Customer Care":- "Hello, Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care. This problem has already been reported to NVIDIA Engineering (as you know) and is under investigation. Please check for the fix in a future driv

Thing is, NVIDIA has been aware of the issue for over a month! Five weeks in fact. Perhaps if NVIDIA is unable to resolve the issue in a timely manner, then it should release the source code so that others may have a go? I shall certainly remember this fiasco next time I ever consider purchasing a

Switching off the desktop resolves the issue of the desktop freezing. However it still leaves lots of nasty screen artefacts - mostly random black boxes or parts of the screen that don't refresh. It's usable I suppose - but only just! Sad to note that there is still nothing from NVIDIA - other tha

Seems NVIDIA is well aware of the issue - and has been for the last month! Sadly there is little sign of any activity from NVIDIA with regard to solving the issue. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=161180 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=161308 Also seems this bug

I'm suffering exactly the same problem with NVIDIA graphics on Natty. Googling:- NVIDIA Konsole crash it would appear this problem has been around for some time on other KDE distros - with no real solution in sight other than a very crude and tricky xserver downgrade. This is pretty serious beca
