Short update in 2013 on this issue.
With :
- Up-to-date precise
- "current-updated" nvidia-drivers
- UNITY_FORCE_START=1 to /etc/environment
- Geforce Go 7400 on a laptop
I experience no freeze anymore (only few hours of use, but it seems to
work).
I'm readily available if you need to make me execute some commands to
pinpoint exact pb or root cause...You would have to drive me through it
though.
I'm now a happy unity user, for this was a blocking issue for me
(ubuntu-2d not a long term bet, as for say).
