Found something - the desktop had been randomly hanging every now and then so I tried uninstalling the NVidia version 180 closed source driver and the System->Preferences->Screensaver window now behaves normally. Unfortunately, the display is low resolution and looks crappy but if I have to, I will take this over the hang.
This is essentially the same root cause of another bug I filed where Evolution would hang on launch and sometimes corrupt the display. It also went away when I deleted the NVidia driver. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/333271 I am going to try with the older version 173 driver and see if it is as problematic. The version 180 driver is buggy to the point of being unusable. -- Jaunty screensaver locks up X, <CTL><ALT><BS> doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
