No proposed fix for this yet? I have been running Karmic without any issues ever since the awesome workaround, but it would indeed be a formidable experience for someone unfamiliar with this problem to install a new system and see everything go haywire. If the solution is not to disable

Ah the sweet taste of victory... I could not resist doing a new install of karmic again now that some three months have elapsed, and it all went like a breeze - install took less than five minutes! Reboot - everything is perfect... update and upgrade, and install the proprietary nvidia drivers

I am using the 2.6.28 kernel still, since I am on Jaunty, and the ALSA package does work on my machine - what I had to do was to switch to alsa-oss for everything to work properly. I am sure you should be able to get the sound to work in that kernel too, unless the experts hither can point out

Way to go! Well I am glad coming forward with this bug helped identify all these issues... Every step we take to weed out bugs is a step to weed out Bug #1; I would have said the Jackalope itself gives Microsoft serious competition; the Koala takes it further - let us hope the Lynx seals the deal!

Apologies for the delayed reply - I have been tied up all day; also for the multiple issue report (I was not aware of the 180/185 nomenclature issue). The trouble is that after the powermizer havoc I was unable to work on my system, and I could not afford that at the time, so I had reformatted it

After the bug I had reformatted my system with jaunty; people in the Ubuntu forums with similar issues had reported that the 190.xx drivers worked for them because it has a separate powermizer setting. -- Please consider turning powermizer OFF https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456637 You received

Yup; seems to me to be exactly the case as in bug #438398 :) Indeed I believe the nvidia build does not fail even when against the older kernel, but the fact that it would be built against the older kernel before the new linux-headers thereby requiring the older one to remain in place is the

Hmmm yes I don't understand why the build failed in the other bug, since it succeeded in my case too, and for the 2.6.28 kernel. However, if 2.6.31 does become the default kernel when installed, then the infamous gdm-respawn-flickering-problem should invariably show up; in my case gdm started fine

I have been plagued by this bug as well and it has interrupted my karmic koala experience - I otherwise believe the new changes in karmic are quite impressive! The permanent solution to this problem that I believe is (rather than a workaround which though works is still a workaround and hence an
