Are you certain that reverting the proprietary drivers to 185.18.36-0ubuntu3 results in the same corruption? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Karmic Usplash update from 0.5.4.0 to 0.5.4.1 on 10/9/09
Re: Karmic Usplash update from 0.5.4.0 to 0.5.4.1 on 10/9/09 Hello, Today an update of Karmic Usplash causes my Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6 to show garbled symbols that look like blue Chinese letters and no Login Prompt. I narrowed it down to usplash by installing updates one at a time and then rebooting until the tty was no longer working. I was wondering if this had anything to do with the fact I have a Nvidia grapics card using the proprietary 185 drivers. The only other person in irc channel #ubuntu+1 who also confirmed this problem also had a Nvidia card.While someone with an Intel card said there was no such problem.
