Sup guys, quick update: Seems Alberto was right, my family and friends switched back to Nouveau via the driver utility and were then able to install the new tested and recommended Nvidia drivers 346.82 via the stable repo provided by Ubuntu. No need to use -updates. System stability and speed has

I just wanted to say that even though I have commented on this issue before, I think it's crazy that this has yet to be fixed. It's nice to see that Nvidia drivers 340's and higher got a fix for it, but on Ubuntu 14.04.2 Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.2 14.10, using the default Nvidia 331 drivers provided

So today I updated my Ubuntu installation again... automatic updates. And yet again a problem has been detected with Nvidia-updates. This is the FOURTH time I am seeing this issue on the SAME machine. I can also confirm it for THREE other machines with Nvidia hardware. And this is suppose to
