Public bug reported:
On a fresh install of Gutsy once I installed the Nvidia driver from the
restricted list, and rebooted my system came up at 1280x1024 resolution -
something Feisty always refused to do for me.
I went ahead and popped into the Add /Remove applications area to see what
goodies I could add - but on opening this application - the system froze
completely. After about 15 seconds I could start to move my mouse again, but
nothing else would work. I rebooted and tried the same thing - and the same
thing happened. Next I rebooted and tried out the synaptic package manager -
which resulted in the same freezing. Also the new firefox addons manager
resulted in the system freezing and locking up again. Finally (after a few
google searches) I found a list of repositories, and tried via apt-get in a
terminal - which worked. I also tried disabling the 3D desktop effects with
the nvidia driver activated, but this never helped at all.
On removing the NVidia driver, everything worked as expected.

in Gutsy, System freezes when attempting to update via synaptic manager or with
add remove applications - but only when the NVIDIA proprietary driver is
activated.
