[Bug 519505] [NEW] Pressing Enter or using sudo command with NVidia driver hangs / reboots the system

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nv

Note: This bug is with NVidia driver not nv, just in case :)

Installed Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 64-bit with repository update.

On system 1:

Installed NVidia-current from synaptic
Reboot the system and start using the environment
Type any text in terminal (xterm / gnome-terminal) or gedit or Firefox or Synaptic
Press Enter

Actual result:

System just hangs

On System 2:

Download NVidia package from download.nvidia.com for the card and install it
Reboot the system and start using the environment
Type sudo su - or launch synaptic and let the password dialog pops up
Press Enter (only for sudo)

Actual result:

System just reboots

Additional info:

System configuration same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/435570

Tried with both Single and Dual monitor

Could not reproduce this with Vesa driver. Unable to use xserver-xorg-
video-nv due to the above bug. We need to use this system with Dual
monitor.

If you need any additional info, please let me know.

Thanks
