Following Szymon's post earlier, i downgraded my xserver and the nvidia drivers and everything is working fine. I had to go thru the trouble of pinning the packages in synaptic and then also holding them in dpkg separately just to make sure i don't accidently upgrade them.
Considering the severity of this bug and the fact that it may take a while before it gets fixed, it might be worthwhile to set up a ppa that allows downgrading xorg for natty with the relevant packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632 Title: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
