Just to clarify -- that doesn't sound like this bug "has been fixed". It sounds like you worked around the bug on your own machine, but the bug remains in un-worked-around installations of Ubuntu. @froller: > appending gksu before the menu command gives > the appropriate permissions to write to the file. True... but that's unrelated to this bug. > Of course one needs to remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf > file first so the program can save as new. To clarify -- if it weren't for this crasher bug, one should *not* need to do that. nvidia-settings is smart enough to read your existing xorg.conf and modify it -- the problem here is that it *crashes* when doing that, if the xorg.conf is missing a particular declaration. (which it apparently is on stock Ubuntu installs -- see comment 64, comment 69) -- 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-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings 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
