Ubuntu completely freezes if I install the graphics driver the additional drivers application recommends.
"Nvidia accelerated graphics driver". Sometimes Ubuntu is not completely frozen and it will only allow me to left click on the desktop to access the display settings, then system settings, then the additional drivers application to uninstall the graphics driver. Then Ubuntu functions normally again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryce Harrington Sent: 06/26/12 04:57 PM To: bma...@gmx.us Subject: [Bug 1016771] Re: Xorg freeze Hi Computer User, Hmm...
