Following Szymon's post earlier, i downgraded my xserver and the nvidia drivers and everything is working fine. I had to go thru the trouble of pinning the packages in synaptic and then also holding them in dpkg separately just to make sure i don't accidently upgrade them.
Considering the severity of this bug and the fact that it may take a while before it gets fixed, it might be worthwhile to set up a ppa that allows downgrading xorg for natty with the relevant packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632 Title: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
