A correction: The freeze does happen on nVidia Quadro NVS 290 (NV86), but not on nVidia Quadro FX1500 (NV71GL). So it is a bug affecting only newer nVidia hardware. I do not know if it happens on Ubuntu 64 Bit, too. It should be patched as soon as possible.
nVidia is not able to provide Ubuntu packages at the moment: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 " Please note: unfortunately, it has become difficult to keep track of the pre-/post-installation steps required for [K]Ubuntu, and the above instructions may be incomplete. If in doubt, it is recommended that you use your distributor's NVIDIA Linux graphics driver packages, exclusively. " Maybe it helps to get into touch with them, or to offer distribution updates more quickly. nVidia offers a package repository for openSUSE, but not yet for Ubuntu. -- system freezes and reboots during app startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402975 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
