Hi Martin, I am on 12.04. Basically I tried to install Steam and it prompted for updating of nvidia drivers. Thereafter the problem began.
Presuming it was an nvidia driver problem I did a complete purge and installed an earlier version. Didn't work. Purged again and tried using nouveau. Worked once then crashed and problem resumed as before. I have read the bug feedback that mentions kernel updates but some say it doesn't work for them. I am considering instaling lucid lynx instead and hoping that a s clean install will sort out the problem, whatever it is. If you have any suggestions for a solution that I have missed that would be great. But the problem crash now often happens prior to the system booting ubuntu, subverting attempts to even boot directly into safe mode or into a CLI. I am new to Ubuntu (six months now) and don't know how to do most of the things discussed in the forums. One thing I do know is that I need a PC that works! Many thanks for your time. cheers Simon On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 9:52 PM, Martin Wildam <993...@bugs.launchpad.net>wrote: > On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 9:15 PM, Simon Eriksson <simon.frew...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Is there a solution to this problem?
