If it's an old card installing version 173 from Nvidia may help to stabilize your system. Performance is not great though, but it helps with my 12.10 version. Hope 13.04 will be better. Verzonden vanaf mijn BlackBerry®-toestel

Its absolutely regardless which nvidia driver i activate (current, current-updates, experimental) the desktop freezes randomly with ativated nvidia driver. Sometimes the system freezes complete, desktop, mouse and keyboard are stocked. Sometimes only the keyboard and desktop freezes. and i can move the cursor but are not able to make the dekstop response do any kind of mouse interacting. If i change back to NV driver the system runs stable. Also this only happens the very first boot on the day. If i restart my system i can run it for hours without any problem. For now i have deactivated the nvidia drivers, hopefully someone can fix this. I also can confirm (but im not sure) that this must have to do with unity as im running a dualboot system with 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu Studio 12.10. On Ubuntu Studio which uses XFCE the system runs stable with the latest nvidia driver activated. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033263 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 freezes with nvidia drivers Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After activiting Nvidia drivers complete freezes (only hard reset works).
