Review post 80 "oranges wrote on 2009-10-22: #80 Greetings, just wanted to let you guys know, I solved this problem by doing:
a) sudo nvidia-xconfig <- it should detect the missing "default display/screen" entry and create a new file for you to write in. then do... b) sudo nvidia-settings and do the usual thing to save your settings. That's all I did - it worked. Oranges" -----Original Message----- From: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of Fabian A.

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 direct subscriber of the bug.

Not sure if this is due to permissions related to the new X config scheme (i.e. no longer using xorg.conf for display config)?
