Hi Christian, I will do it but only on next friday, I'm away from home for
the next days (I am an airline captain).
In mean time, I foresee we will have the release of Wily with this problem?
This will affect many nvidia users when booting in live mode, this is bad
for *buntu distros.
I tested ubuntu mate, xubuntu and kubuntu, all have the same problem, did
not Ubuntu though...
Thank you for replying.

Regards
Sergio
