[Bug 1535446] Re: [REGRESSION] NVidia Settings systematically crashes on "Detect displays"

 

Since this is a crasher and a very critical bug that makes the whole
system unusable, there's no point in waiting for some other random user
to stumble upon the report and confirm it, so I'm marking it as
confirmed.

** Changed in: nvidia-settings (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  Steps to reproduce:
  - open Nvidia Settings
  - go to "X Server Display Configuration"
  - click "Detect Displays"
  
  => systematically crashes
+ 
+ This has started happening after upgrading from 15.04 to 15.10.
