There is enough reason to understand this bug can be closed as a newer version of software-package didn't make it appear any longer.

If you dont think the update resolved the initial problem then feel free to reopen the bug and attach logs that are necessary to get evidence. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873375 Title: nvidia-settings freeze on activating TwinView [needs nvidia-settings 290] Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: When I try to activate my secondary display the nvidia-settings software will freeze when i choose the option "TwinView".
