@ste-goddard this bug is not specific to Ubuntu. Search around the web/forums and you will find it happens on all linux distributions. I've seen it reported on Arch, Gentoo, and Fedora at least, wherever people are using v295.* and later nvidia drivers. -- You received this bug notification

I don't know if anybody is following my story here but I noticed an xorg-edgers kernel update from 3.5.0.3.3 to 3.5.0.4.4 today so I thought I would give it a test running Unity. Note, as my previous comment I can run kernel 3.2 forever without issue. So I upgraded and rebooted to 3.5.0.4.4 and I

Well I have determined that for me this problem is caused by linux kernel 3.5.0-3 (pulled in via linux-image-generic) which was installed on my system via xorg-edgers ppa. I removed this and went back to the generic precise kernel which is currently 3.2.0-26 and my lockups have gone. I am still

@brigham, I have used nvidia drivers with my system (8600 GT) for a few years without problems but since ubuntu 12.04 (i.e. nvidia v295.33, v295.40, v295.49, v295.53, v302.07, v302.11, v302.17?), I suffer an xorg segmentation fault within a hour or two of booting when using nvidia driver (and that
