(Get the code!)
OK, I have been running on Intrepd, fully updated, with nvidia 185.19 installed from PPA. It has been rock solid. When running Jaunty with 180.44, 180.51 and 185.19, I get *at least* one lockup per day, oft-times of the blinking keyboard variety.
Something has been VERY unstable with Jaunty, and I am now running the same nvidia driver on Intrepid to compare, so it appears to be something other than purely the video driver. Is there anything I can do to help? Is no one else seeing really bad stability issues?
What I am experiencing is serious enough to consider Jaunty unusable, which is unusual this late in the cycle, and far worse than Jaunty had been earlier. At the moment, I'm likely to revert to Intrepid and start testing Karmic. I maintain multiple boot partitions, currently Hardy, Intrepid and Jaunty, and had previously planned to replace Hardy with Karmic.
