Muškovac's advice (#126) worked for me with the konsole issue. So this is a good first step. I'm still having issue during boot, shutdown and accessing text console via: ctrl+alt+F1. I get a white screen with black garbled text. This seems related, since it has to do with the display, however it might be part of another bug. Is anyone seeing the same issue with ctrl+alt+F1?

Was having the Konsole resize crash and random pixel problems on Natty i386 with GeForce 310.

I'm not part of the Ubuntu X team, so I don't know why this isn't getting an SRU, but please don't mess around with the driver script from nvidia unless you know exactly what you're doing. Also, the driver from nvidia isn't supported in ubuntu, so please don't suggest it (at least not here in the bug tracker).

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system
I manually installed the latest nvidia driver from their site and got an error that the kernel module was mismatched with the nvidia driver version. My display manger wouldn't even start until I purged and reinstalled the problematic version of nvidia again. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/37590/nvidia-drivers-not-working-after- upgrade-why-can-i-only-see-terminal. I don't know how you guys are doing it without all sorts of complications arising. It broke my system and now I am back to the offending version again. Now I'm scared to resize windows. This bug has been up for 5 months. Why hasn't the new driver been officially passed through to the official repositories? Doing unofficial things break your system. Especially if you are not an expert and there is a lack of official guidance on issues like this. I have to trawl through forums and I don't feel comfortable having to perform changes that could break my system.

Now it is to criticize something they do wrong is blamming them? With that attitude you will never improve anything. Get in your head that if a company does something for you do it for publicity or for money, and if you do not move to change something you do wrong will never change. This is not a blame is a warning of the bad publicity for canonical that will have not solving this problems, at least among the KDE community. And many of them are techinical users with influences other low-level users. It is a serious bug, which leaves the system almost useless and have not upgraded since April a driver with this bug.

We not are requesting for a imposible thing, simply to solve a bug. A bug in a driver that are part of Kubuntu, but also of Ubuntu, and it mean that canonical (that is th company that makes ubuntu ¿or not?) are distributing buggy software and does not care about it.

First: Please do not quote full entries. This bug report is already full of hundreds of posts so we do not need to have all those fully quoted. I did not want to distinguish between blaming and criticising. I simply meant that canonical is not responsible for kubuntu. Because kde is _not_ officially supported by canonical. It's in the universe repositories. This means it's maintained by the community and not by canonical. There is so much software in the universe repository and one company can never be responsible for all these packages. The buggy driver might be in the restricted repositories with software supported by canonical but if this bug does not affect ubuntu, it is not a critical ubuntu bug. If you want to rely on what canonical does, just install ubuntu. I will not respond to any response regarding this discussion because I think further discussion is meaningless.

@Christopher Yes, I have other problems for sure... :( Disabling desktop effect does not solve the problem, I have already tried. I have a Windows installation, but it is inside VirtualBox.

@Yusef: have you actually tried the 275.09.07 driver, or 275.09.04? The 275 driver(s) before that would not include the fix (I ran into that problem too), and I don't know about any beta 280.

@yusef So you're running a 275.09.07 driver, but it crashes when you resize the konsole, as Ubuntu's default official nvidia driver?

@Yusef: at the risk of being a bit off-topic, i'll mention that i have a very similar experience on a Gentoo system with a GeForce GTX 465 using the 275.09.07 driver. i also have similar problems in Windows 7 in some graphics-intensive games and Flash videos with the same card, especially with the 275.33 driver (less so with the 270.61 or the 275.50). at some point, the whole system simply freezes; in Windows, the screen goes black for about 10 seconds, then reboots. on a different system with a GeForce 330M, i don't have these issues, and the 275.09.04 and 275.09.07 drivers both resolve the specific issue in this bug (freezing during Konsole resize). do you have a GTX 400 series card? if so, try a card from a different series. perhaps there's something wrong with these. i plan on doing the same when i find time to borrow my roommate's GTX 260. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632 Title: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/760632/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@ArdyFalls: from NVIDIA is not very specific. Are you sure it is the version 275.09.04? See comment #74 (by me), which includes working links. I recommend installing the packages from the PPA, because the Nvidia installer breaks Ubuntu's packaging system (by deleting/ overwriting files without removing the packages which contained them).

Well, aren't there enough posts above that state which version works? I recommend reading at least the top and bottom of a bug report to see what it is about and if there is already a solution for a bug before posting. If one did this, I doubt it would be possible to miss the version which works. This does not only help to keep the bug report clean, but also helps you finding the solution faster. And nobody reported any problems yet with the experimental version so chances are rather good that you do not trade one bug for another. Although I have not tested this myself, I think Julio's tip about nouveau (#88) does not help all people as there were people that reported problems with nouveau as well (see #28). Interesting though that the old 170.x driver seem to work - I think nobody has tried (at least reported) anything about this version yet. I think any post below this should either be problem reports about the experimental version (if any problems occur) or somebody saying it's now in the repositories.

i've seen a number of people recommend installing the latest drivers from ppa:philip5/extra, but i'd like to caution wary users (and eager newbie users) against doing so by adding the PPA to their apt sources. doing so may cause a subsequent system-wide upgrade to upgrade more packages than you bargained for. then, if you later remove the PPA from your apt sources, apt will not revert those packages to the corresponding ones from the Ubuntu repos--they'll stay at the PPA's versions until Ubuntu's versions exceed them. to fully revert the packages, (as far as i know) you'll need to use something like ppa-purge http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove- ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/. to cherry-pick the nvidia-graphics package from the PPA, you can grab the appropriate .deb package directly from the PPA's web site by following the View package details link above the package list. this is the route i chose to resolve this bug on my systems. this [1] should be the appropriate .deb for 64-bit systems, and this [2] should be the one for 32-bit systems.

I can also confirm that using the 275.09.04 drivers package from the philip5 ppa resolved the various issues for me too. In fact it seems to work remarkably well. No more nasty screen artefacts, no more random crashes from gnome-terminal or gedit. Whilst I still maintain that NVIDIA was very slow to investigate the issue, once it actually started addressing the issue, it has resolved it commendably quickly. As a side issue, I was interested to note that Philip Johnnson describes his personal package archive as a Ubuntu experimental rolling release repository. By adding his PPA to one's repository list means that one receives updated versions of many other applications. I'm very interested to see how that pans out because I have found the concept of a rolling version rather intriguing. If a rolling edition of (K)Ubuntu eventually comes to pass, then will it mark the end of rushed, untested versions of (K)Ubuntu, banged out quick, with serious bugs such as this, just in order to meet artificial deadlines? Or will it lumber users with more bugs not fewer?

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system
I was excited to finally get working KDE, with transparent terminals and with OpenGL, when I read about the new NVIDIA Beta drivers (275.09). Alas, it does not work for me. I installed the driver from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-275.09-driver.html Installation already was painful: I had to uninstall the distribution packages (nvidia-current) first, and to blacklist the open source driver's kernel module nouveau. It felt like it took a few seconds longer before X crashed, when I resized my konsole, but it still just took seconds. This is a GeForce 9400M, by the way. So I decided I'd rather have no 3D than having to continue using Gnome, but uninstalling nvidia, and reactivating nouveau also was a bit tricky. # ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.run --uninstall Now first KDE did not start any more, because some file was missing (as kwin reported when trying to start it from gnome). The following fixed it for me: # aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx @alvin: you are right, there are a lot of useless comments in this bug tracker. But I don't agree with your You should rather blame the 'fixed release date' policy. (instead of NVIDIA) - in the end the NVIDIA driver is not really part of the distribution at all. It even works well with Ubuntu's default desktops (I used it with Gnome for several weeks without problems), so throwing it out of the software center just because of the KDE issue would have been a bit harsh... maybe a conflicts in the konsole package would have been useful? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632 Title: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system
I agree. 'Conflicts konsole' would have been great. That should be an easy patch. The driver is in the restricted section, but available in a default installation. You don't have to enable any extra repositories for it. Other distro's would probably have different policies regarding restricted software by default. Given the nature of the bug a warning in the release notes would have been nice. Kubuntu shouldn't be hit by unstable software because the same package is working fine on Ubuntu (is it really?)

The only program, that shows this problem is, so what i know, 'konsole'. '-notransparency' as option works well, without any other effekt(!).

gnome-terminal is also affected, certainly on my systems. You have to try harder to crash it, but it still crashes. Also there is the matter of the strange on-screen artefacts.

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system
I can confirm that --notransparency seems to fix the problem on Ubuntu 11.04 as indicated in #43, and is, at least for me, no problem unlike disabling desktop effects as a whole. Interestingly, though, my setup does not use any transparency while resizing (or at all, for that matter), so --notransparency does not change anything visible, apart from the system not crashing ;). nvidia-current: 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 xserver-common: 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632 Title: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Fresh install from the kubuntu alternate install cd. I can both confirm the issue with the nvidia-driver and konsole/gnome terminal as well as confirm the --notransparency workaround working.

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system
@Stefanek kudos for a stable work-around! I only replace Xorg with the 1.9 version and left the nvidia driver at 270.41.06 and after dragging Konsole across 2 monitors for 5 minutes I still didn't lock up! And I agree with the general consensus that this is quite severe and taking way too long to fix.

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system
Following Szymon's post earlier, i downgraded my xserver and the nvidia drivers and everything is working fine. I had to go thru the trouble of pinning the packages in synaptic and then also holding them in dpkg separately just to make sure i don't accidently upgrade them. Considering the severity of this bug and the fact that it may take a while before it gets fixed, it might be worthwhile to set up a ppa that allows downgrading xorg for natty with the relevant packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760632 Title: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
