@Timo #46 "subscribe to this bug [...] and wait" is not an option after booting into a broken X (NVIDIA 8400 GS).
@Nicolas #7 / #8 Thank you, the downgrade worked fine - while I waited for my new graphics card to arrive... The NZ$80 card (NVIDIA GT 520) arrived the next day. I removed the oneiric source and pin again, reran update/dist-upgrade and then installed nvidia-current. All working now. @Timo #9 What's "silly and dangerous" is not mentioning a showstopper in the release notes. Esp. when it is being described as "well known". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948053 Title: nvidia-96 and nvidia-173 uninstallable on Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/948053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
