Hi jth, Many thanks for your suggestions. I did some further searching and the following Ubuntu forum thread provided a work-around:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343261&page=5 Specificaly doctordruidphd post #47 to disable safe-mode graphics. Similar discussion here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/491483 Apparently it is a timing/conflict issue and related to gdm/kdm and safe-mode graphics. (so perhaps it is in someway related to this thread too - I'm not sure) P.S. I have 32bit Ubuntu installed (this thread is for 64 bit) and I have both Gnome and KDE installed -- kdm fails to start/restart (but gdm does properly) in kubuntu karmic 64 bits and nvidia driver 185 -- Solved! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477066 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
