I was not able to test my machine with Nvidia 177, but instead I've used the NV driver for a few days. To my suprise I experienced a few of the same hangups as well! So the crashes are probably not related to the Nvidia-driver.
It reminds me of the crashes I had during the first two months with Ubuntu 8.10. They were caused by a kernel bug, so I'm considering falling back to the intrepid kernel. -- Kubuntu Jaunty 64 bits hangups often with nvidia-glx-180 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363672 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
