Had terrible trouble with my linux box at work today. After having used a messed "10.04-from 9.10-upgraded" installation for some weeks, the system failed completely (not even grub showing up...but that's another story to tell).
I decided to reinstall LUCID from Live CD. Then the folowing bugs occured: - Using the LiveCD and programs such as, e.g., dolphin or firefox, a system hard crash occured twice while backing up the most important files. Non-GUI programs worked fine (konsole), as well as the installer which was launched afterwards. - The fresh installation failed desperately after just a few minutes of use, but only when GTK or QT apps were used. A yakuake terminal window could be used for several hours. I thought this related to the graphics card and installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver. Suddenly, no more bugs were encountered. I was able to run multiple applications with/without desktop effects enabled, OpenGL 3d accell worked fine etc. The machine is a Intel Dual Core, Asus Mainboard, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GT220 card (so nothing special). I am using Kubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit. The "sudden death" of the machine with the open source driver was a shocking experience and definitely needs to be fixed ASAP. Logs etc. are not at hand but I will try to collect some more data on monday. -- Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in _Unwind_Backtrace() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
