I tested with the 304.43 edgers package and the new drivers do fix the crash with these applications, as well as with the Unity and other 3D desktops. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037896 Title: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1037896/+subscriptions ___ 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

OK, with the new Xserver 1.12.99.905-0ubuntu2, nvidia-current 304.37 does load OK, at least for bumblebee. I was keen to try it out to see if it would crash with the Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context that plagued it in Precise while playing opengl games. Sadly, it crashes with this error in Quantal too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037896 Title: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1037896/+subscriptions ___ 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1037896] Re: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop
Yes, Rocko - It's in the nvidia driver. See Daniel's message #6. Unless I misunderstand what he said: Nvidia built/released the 304.37 drivers to what they thought would be 1.13 compliant around the 13th, but there was a change in the ABI on the 17th, that broke their compatibility, before the finalization of 1.12.99.905 version on the 21st that is now in the repos. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037896 Title: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1037896/+subscriptions ___ 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1037896] Re: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop
As Daniel mentioned, the problem is in OpenGL. If you are willing to run without it, you can work around the problem for now by disabling the glx module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding the following lines: Section Module Disable glx EndSection This issue was caused because the video driver ABI version was changed correctly, but nobody noticed that the extension module ABI needed to be bumped as well. That's why the problem only affects libglx and not the nvidia X driver. Please note that we do not officially support pre-release or release candidate X servers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037896 Title: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1037896/+subscriptions ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1037896] Re: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop
Is the bug actually in the nvidia driver or in the xserver? X has now applied the ABI bump (http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg- announce/2012-August/002059.html) with the patch that Aaron requested pertaining to this crash, and xserver-xorg-core is now at 2:1.12.99.905-0ubuntu1 so it should have the new ABI. So does the crash still happen with the new xserver? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037896 Title: Starting Firefox kills xserver immediately when using 2D desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1037896/+subscriptions ___ 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
