The security update of the nvidia graphics driver causes a problem on my
system (GeForce 8800 GTS):
When the screen is locked (using gnome-screensaver) the screen freezes
for about 30 seconds. The same thing happens, when the screen is
unlocked.
This problem appeared after installing the security updates advised by
USN-1420-1 ( nvidia-173-modaliases_173.14.22-0ubuntu11.1, nvidia-
current_195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.2 and nvidia-current-
modaliases_195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.2). When downgrading to the original
package versions (nvidia-173-modaliases_173.14.20-0ubuntu5, nvidia-
current_195.36.15-0ubuntu2 and nvidia-current-
modaliases_195.36.15-0ubuntu2), the problem vanishes. After installing
the updated versions again, it reappears.
This bug is reproducible: It occurs every time the screen is locked or
unlocked as long as the newer versions of the before-mentioned packages
are installed.
While this bug is not critical (the system only freezes for 30 to 60
seconds), it is very annoying, in particular because it is a regression
introduced with a security update.
