I added the tag "needs-packaging" in the hopes it will bring this particular problem to attention.
Jaunty really should have this driver updated, while we have a location to retrieve older driver packages and the means to lock them I don't believe that should be considered a "triage" or fix. To anyone with the means and interested in making the packages themselves: FTP URL: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/ ** Description changed: After installing the nvidia driver version 180.35, I can no longer log out of KDE. If I look in the process list I can see a long list of defunct processes that are all children of ksmserver. The only workaround seems to be to log in with an empty session (i.e disable 'Restore Previous session'). It seems that somehow the nvidia driver is causing this problem. There's a long thread on the nvnews forum here : http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=128992 The cure seems to be to revert back to 180.29, but it's far from obvious how to do this. + + Needs Package Created for: nvidia driver 180.37 + nVidia Driver URL: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/ ** Tags added: needs-packaging -- nvidia driver 180.35 breaks KDE 4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
