I think I may have found something that solves this for me: upgrading my drivers to the 190 series...
With these drivers I can start games again on my machine. :) Here are the steps I went through to get this to work: 1. Install this PPA to get access to the latest stable 190 driver: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa 2. Install nvidia-glx-190 and nvidia-190-modaliases from Synaptic. 3. Install envyng-core if you don't already have it (this is because the new drivers don't show up in Hardware Drivers) 4. Run envy in a terminal with the command envyng -t 5. Select the install NVIDIA driver option, and 190.42 should be at the top of the list -- spring segfaults after starting a game in karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455857 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
