This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu. Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty? If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty' so it's easier for us to track. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = New ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483832 Title: AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 483832] Re: AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies
WeatherGod, OK, just one more report from me. I have checked out the desktop machine too, and the problem is definitely the same, works with the free driver, or the 173, but not the 185. And, lspci reports nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600GT] (rev a1) So it may be only 7 series cards which are affected, but others will be able to confirm that, maybe. Anyway, I will leave you to get on with fixing it. Just reverting to the 173 driver is probably good enough for many people. I will keep tracking this bug for a while, so if you need a dmesg or whatever from the other machine, please feel free to ask.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 483832] Re: AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies
WeatherGod, Thanks for your quick response. I am not using Compiz, and have now uninstalled it, and I can't yet tell if it started after a particular update. As I always use separate /home partitions for my data, it should be fairly easy to start again with a fresh install, and add the few drivers and updates, one at a time, until it breaks. I will report back when I have done that. I will start without the Nvidia driver, as it has to be one of the suspects. Also I will do it on the Gnome installation, to avoid confusion with KDE4 bugs, of which there still are more than a few. -- AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 483832] Re: AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies
Before doing that, I have just tried a desktop of roughly similar configuration, but faster,, i.e. AMD64 dual core and Nvidia graphics, also an up to date Ubuntu 9.10, and that has no virtual consoles either. The monitors show no signal, but CTRLALTF7 gets back to the GUI. Beginning to look like an unfixable Nvidia problem, but I will proceed to reinstall anyway to see what happens. -- AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 483832] Re: AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies
Well, I reinstalled the laptop, and virtual ttys worked normally. I then used the Hardware Drivers applet, which offered the Broadcomm B43 wireless driver and the Nvidia 185 driver. I have left out the Broadcomm for now, but when I installed the Nvidia and rebooted, virtual consoles were again a dysfunctional black screen. I should have guessed before filing the bug report, but on the other hand it is many years since I have had a Nvidia bug, and that was before Ubuntu existed. I am going to do the desktop machine as well, just to confirm this. but it will be at least 24 hours. I will also bring my best machine, a quad core with ATI graphics, up to 9.10 to see what happens there, just in case it is more complex than it seems. I guess that when I have gathered more data, the only thing that will be possible is to feed the bug report upstream to Nvidia, and hope that they fix it. This is not the place for a rant about closed source drivers, but I have an opinion, and it is not good! One more thing to do tonight. I have 20 minutes or so, so I will try the Nvidia 173 driver. Don't know if it will work with my hardware, but worth a try. -- AMD64x2, Nvidia, Gnome and KDE, no virtual ttys, and shell in konsole or gnome terminal dies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Well, the laptop works with the Nvidia 173 driver as far as virtual consoles are concerned. It may be possible to fix this for everyone who may be affected by making the Hardware Drivers applet offer the 173 driver only, on this hardware configuration. But give me 48 hours to check the desktops and see what driver, if any, will work there.

tiger99, thanks for the investigative work. It just so happens that someone else with similar trouble was also using the same version of the NVidia drivers.

Also, are you using compiz window effects?
