Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The next step to make progress on this bug is to obtain a backtrace at the point where the screen garbles and locks up.
Information on obtaining a backtrace from a crash or lockup can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X under the troubleshooting section. Since it sounds like you can access the console, do that and attach gdb to the running Xorg process, get a full backtrace, and attach it to this bug report. Thanks ahead of time! ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- kubuntu livecd garbled screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/45665 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
