I have got my SW working so today I did a disk clone of my hard disk by booting an Ubuntu live disk and executing the dd command to make an exact copy of the disk. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=16384 conv=notrunc Where /dev/sdb is an USB mounted hard disk identical to the system hard disk. When the copy was done I swapped the disk and installed the most recent Nvidia driver 177.82 for my EN 8600 GT card. By installing on the copy I did not run any risk with my workstation. The driver installed OK, but the error still remains. I think this is an error that needs to be reported, the question is where is the best place to deliver the error report ? Any suggestions ?
