This started affecting me on 12.10 (no emacs, no skype, no Mathematica, etc => impossible to use Ubuntu for work), had to revert to 12.04, but had hoped the issue had been fixed for 13.04. It hasn't.
Hussam's hack fixed the problem (but why does it work?), and QT programs no longer crash X. But why has this not been fixed for over a year? This is a serious bug that renders Ubuntu completely unusable for many people with NVIDIA graphics cards, and not everyone will be able to find the solution, which must be temporary anyway (commenting out the font pipe in xorg.conf is not really a solution). -- 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/927288 Title: Xorg crash with qt4 apps using nvidia drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/927288/+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
