Thanks Alberto, there are quite a few "different" bugs associated with the new nvidia drivers and intrepid. It is causing me issues that I am unsure of how best to resolve, and I consider myself to be a reasonably technical user. I see your difficulty here, but to me several of these bug reports (

I have just updated (and rebooted just to be sure). The menu entry: "System->Administration->NVIDIA X Server Settings" does not ask for a super-user pasword. So consequently it can't write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. This will greatly confuse non-technical users and there is no sensible message to expl

I have had a problem with the nvidia drivers and my hardware ever since trying Intrepid at Alpha 5. So I reverted to the nv driver until yesterday. I thought I'd try again. The problem is that I only get 1024x768 *every* time I reboot. Even if I use the nvidia-settings tool to change it to 1152x86

Ahhh; is that where it came from. I also have it chewing up tons cycles on my laptop but it isn't installed on my desktop (both Intrepid since Alpha5). I do remember installing Kubuntu on a separate partition although I have a shared home partition so perhaps it has come from there? I will remove

Update: My Intrepid build is up-to-date as of yesterday. Printing from Firefox seems OK as long as the page size is set correctly. It defaults to US Letter even though all other settings are for the UK (en_GB etc..). If I do not chnage the page size in Firefox the print job gets sent to the print

OK - I ran a couple of test prints from Intrepid and it is certainly much better :-) If, however I try to print the same contents (select pages 1-2 in the print dialogue) of the Firefox browser from the URL I posted in the original report, I do not get any errors on the printer, it does not create
