Thanks for the suggestion, but I really shouldn't have to be using backports on a system that has always worked. That doesn't solve the problem.
I have been running 10.10 since it went beta and have solved plenty of issues since then, as is expected, but this is bonkers. A mainline aptitude update && aptitude upgrade should _never_ bork a system to this extent. I seem to have no option but to reformat, which will take days due to my set-up, and I have to change distros, as I know Ubuntu is borked. As I see it, that's about as big as a show-stopper gets. -- Nvidia 173 driver does not work with xserver 1.9 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626918 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
