yes, thanks Carey In my case, I had to apply a patch to the default nvidia 96.43.10 source. There is a patch for the 180.44 driver that you can find here:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=131597 I've attached a version made for the 96.43.10 module (actually, I didn't try out the above patch directly, it might work) In more details: assuming all required packages are installed(like linux-headers, nvidia-96-kernel-source, etc), apply the patch to the following directory: /usr/src/nvidia-96.43.10 I've installed the 2.6.30-7-generic kernel, so the build command for this looks like this: sudo dkms build -m nvidia -v 96.43.10 -k 2.6.30-7-generic and install it with: sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 96.43.10 -k 2.6.30-7-generic if all went well, 'dkms status' should include an entry: nvidia, 96.43.10, 2.6.30-7-generic, i686: installed obviously instead of '96.43.10', you'll have your driver version there (if not the same as mine). ** Attachment added: "patch for nvidia 96.43.10 module for 2.6.30 kernel" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27428574/nv-96.43.10-2.6.30.patch -- Soft lockups (freezes) when deleting files from ext4 partitions on 2.6.28 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330824 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
