I've been following this bug for quite a while and it is pretty clear that this is *NOT* a permissions problem. I've always run nvidia- settings with gksudo / sudo and the problem was always there. So please don't mark as fixed because of permissions.
I have not tested this with the latest Karmic update but the program did crash when run with root privileges on a then-uptodate Karmic as late as last week. -- 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
