Thank you Anatoly for this new bit of information. Well, as this driver is not from the Ubuntu packages, it cannot be considered as an Ubuntu bug. I suggest you use the 'Convert to a question' in upper right of this web page, to get help from users as to how to avoid having to reinstall your driver.
That said, I expect them to need a bit more information to help you: Are you using (K)Ubuntu 8.10? I am not myself very aware of nvidia drivers with Ubuntu, but I take notes of the following, taken from the release notes of 8.10: nVidia "legacy" video support The 71 and 96 series of proprietary nVidia drivers, as provided by the nvidia-glx-legacy and nvidia-glx packages in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, are not compatible with the X.Org included in Ubuntu 8.10. Users with the nVidia TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, and GeForce4 chipsets are affected and will be transitioned on upgrade to the free nv driver instead. This driver does not support 3D acceleration. Users of other nVidia chipsets that are supported by the 173 or 177 driver series will be transitioned to the nvidia-glx-173 or nvidia- glx-177 package instead. However, unlike drivers 96 and 71, drivers 173 and 177 are only compatible with CPUs that support SSE (e.g. Intel Pentium III, AMD Athlon XP or higher). Systems with older CPUs will also be transitioned to the nv driver on upgrade. I don't know how things have evolved lately however. Could you post the part relative to your video card given by: lspci -v -nn , please? Which driver do you get from nvidia.com, and how do you install it? -- drivers from nvidia.com and today kde4 update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348618 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
