Problem is that the .40 driver was a security update. That means that downgrading the Ubuntu version to their .33 would expose all nvidia users to the (now public) security bug. IOW delivering .33 to you in the Ubuntu LTS would be irresponsible of us. NVIDIA is aware of the issues and working on fixes. Remember we have -updates now, that we can roll out fixed drivers to for those of you affected by this. But we're gated on NVIDIA to fix the issue since it's a binary proprietary driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982485 Title: [regression] Nvidia 295.40: Unity 3D does not work at all with the new nvidia driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/982485/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
