according to Sam Tygier the options to bypass this bug are:- disable a core (kernel boot up parameter) downgrade drivers (to Feisty) switch to nv (unrestricted open source driver, but with no 3D acceleration)
I have just switched to the nv driver. But its a nasty situation, its been years since I have 3D or graphics issues, I just hope it does not put too many off using Ubuntu. Maybe its just too soon to have a 3D desktop as the default. -- Random NVidia Proprietary Driver Lock-Ups with dual core + 7300 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
