I just freshly installed Intrepid on my desktop and had the same error, even after updating to the latest kernel and packages.
I followed the instructions from Eric Julien ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/nvidia- settings/+bug/286424/comments/10 ) and it works now. -- nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
