how can this bug possibly be marked invalid??
I had a system running just fine 9.04, answered yes to upgrade to
9.10, went through that process for awhile, rebooted, and now the only
way I can use my computer is ssh in from remote because the local
display is either flickering like mad or
this is what got my system working again:
* ssh in from remote
* delete existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this step may not have been needed)
* download from nvidia.com the NVIDIA-Linux-*.run for your hardware and
copy it to your PC (I did it with a second PC and transfered via scp)
It is save, in case you feel able to fix the problems like described in
the release notes. In case you want to have things work out of the box,
I advice you to continue with 9.4
Ciao, Stefan.

I am invited now to upgrade to 9.10.
I first installed 9.10 and had to quit due to nvidia.
Then my son installed 9.4 and it is doing well.
¿Is it safe to accept the challenge upgrade?

I'm still not certain if this is the most appropriate place to post
about the bug. I am unable to run Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu UNR 9.10 live

This evening I was eventually able to stop the flickering with sudo stop gdm.

I had a similar issue, but now have 9.10 running smoothly.

Since this bug report is being linked to by news stories, it is getting

to unrelated causes. I'd like to direct them to more appropriate bug

Also see bug 438398 which appears to be the root cause for a lot of the

I solved this with my NVidia 9800M GTS by doing the following:
1) boot in recovery mode
2) drop to a root shell with networking
3) init 3
4) log in

6) download the latest Linux driver for x64 (or x86)
7) bash the .run
8) sudo nvidia-xconfig
9) reboot

Sounds like you probably have a proprietary driver compiled against
kernel version X, but have upgraded to kernel version Y. Because they
are closed source, the driver has to be rebuilt for a given kernel
version, which means you have to take care to match your kernel and
video driver versions,
