A large number of bugs have been filed on the binary-only nvidia display drivers regarding crashes of the X server (which provides the graphical environment in Linux). From the user perspective, you are working or browsing normally and then all of a sudden you find yourself back at the login screen asking for username and password.
To find out whether you are using these nvidia drivers (they come as part of ubuntu so you didn't have to get them from nvidia yourself), use the following command on a console: grep -ic 'driver.*nvidia' /etc/X11/xorg.conf This should output a number as a result; if that number is zero, you are not using these drivers, any other number you are. -- Hotmail flaw caused computer to log out and ask forUbuntu user password https://launchpad.net/bugs/67481 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
