Thanks Jason - I just did a nvidia-xconfig followed by nvidia-settings, and it worked, using the latest 177 drivers on intrepid. It turns out that when the nvidia drivers are installed, nvidia-xconfig is not run, which is used to create a xorg.conf that nvidia-settings can recognise. Hence, later when it comes to try and modify the existing xorg.conf file (which in my case was the default intrepid one), it doesn't know how to interpret it, and segfaults.
In summary, try a nvidia-xconfig before nvidia-settings! -- [Hardy] nvidia-settings crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194528 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
