I wonder if this is truly a widespread issue. I've been using Karmic daily since the beta was released a few weeks ago, upgrading its packages to the official release, and I haven't encountered any issues yet. Has anyone here had any of the problems described in the article?
- cnvogel 17y agoI've experienced the flickering screen problem which is caused by a rapidly restarting X server (on nvidia-chipset graphics). In earlier releases gdm seemed to throttle this after 5 attempts and present a text-mode dialog. By default now all is left to the xorg auto-discovery (no config file), so I assume that this fallback was no longer deemed necessary by the Ubuntu folks. I resorted to booting the computer with a usb-stick, temporarily disabling /etc/init/gdm.conf (or however that upstart-thing now is called, I forgot), then installing the morally questionable :-) nvidia-binary drivers via envy. Works great so far (under bare metal and via VirtualBox as a guest hosted by Windows7).
