I would like to comply with your request. I have someone here who can help me with what appears to me to be a complicated set of tasks (I am new at this.). However, the comment at the end of the wiki, "*How do we remove all this stuff after getting the trace and get back to a normal system?" need*s addressing. Is there a description of how to revert to normal?
As an aside, I get a similar crash with gnome-power-preferences. It is similar in that the system becomes unresponsive in the same manner, and the problem goes away if the earlier NVidia driver is used. This leads me to suspect that the problem is at least partially in the driver as well as in the gnome programs. -Denis On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 11:54 AM, Pedro Villavicencio <pe...@ubuntu.com>wrote: > Thanks for your bug report.
