I'm still not certain if this is the most appropriate place to post about the bug. I am unable to run Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu UNR 9.10 live CDs so I am thinking this is a significant bug.
This evening I was eventually able to stop the flickering with sudo stop gdm. sudo nano etc/X11/xorg.conf listed the vesa driver. With Ubuntu 9.10 I use on my hard drive I use the current recommended nvidia ver 185 driver. If I sudo start gdm then the flickering returns. -- upgrade breaks graphic drivers and x, preventing login or startx https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464591 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
