Public bug reported: After upgrade to 11.04 I noticed I could not launch WoW within .wine. I found the video drivers were "Installed but not activated". The only fix is to go into synaptic Package manager and uninstall everything related to nvidia. after the required reboot everything works fine for 2 or 3 days (i shutdown every night).
