@julienmbpe I'm using multiple monitors on a Quadro FX based laptop with a docking station, which does not work with nouveau. It was running perfectly fine before 12.04. This bugs basically makes my laptop, which is my daily workstation, useless and I'm piratically forced to reinstall my machine with a previous version of Ubuntu. It isn't reliable enough to work with it and I can't afford loosing work again.
I've also tried using 295.40 and 302.07, both contain the same bug (assuming it's the nvidia driver). Still baffled that this bug isn't being addressed yet. There are 14 duplicate bug reports and almost 200 people are mentioning being affected by this bug and still nobody from Canonical, as far I can tell, is looking into this. Besides the trouble it's causing me, regular desktop people are ditching Ubuntu (and Linux) and give this potential great desktop a bad reputation which it cannot afford. You can't expect people who just want a working machine to hack into there system just because they upgraded to the newest version. Even if they tried to be save by using a LTS version for the sake of stability. The fact that the bug exists within a LTS release is questionable, but the fact it's not being addressed after a Month (Even before the actual release), even for a free OS, is regrettable. This really should be top priority not for my sake but the general acceptance of Linux as a great Windows and OS/X alternative. Canonical has taken this burden upon them and shouldn't let it slip. -- 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/973096 Title: Nvidia driver causes xorg crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/973096/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
