You shouldn't have to revert to 32-bit or opt not to install a package to get it to function properly. Although, your efforts will help in locating where the problem is; the bottom line is someone needs to acknowledge this and fix it. Someone obviously wrote the bad code and needs to take ownership and fix it. I'm not trying to down talk anyone here as this is all open source and created based on people donating their time and their expertise, but I have been plagued by this problem since the release of Karmic. And since it has been confirmed by others in Lucid (an LTS), I would think someone would want to help us resolve this issue.
On a personal note, I think Ubuntu is getting to far ahead of itself. In the recent releases, I believe there has been far too many new things added (including new bugs) and not enough fixing of the existing problems. This is taking away from what Ubuntu was originally promised to be, a user-friendly rock-solid operating system. I'm almost to the point to where I might switch to back Debian. To date, I believe Hardy is, was, and always will be the best Ubuntu release unless things start to change. -- compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV in glXBindTexImageEXT() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/425160 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
