How long until 180.22 stable gets released in intrepid-updates?

180.11 beta was added earlier today to intrepid-updates.

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

Please don't forget to upgrade nvidia-settings, too! See Bug 315667. :-)

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

As per 297543 (180.11), this should be pushed to 8.10 as well.

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

I see 180.22 and the older 180.18 in the queue: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+queue

Why are they not showing up in the repository, even though the build is successful? I understand that 180.22 is new, but 180.18 is several days old, and yet 180.11 is still the newest version showing up in the repository according to aptitude.

Just a little warning.... it seems to be some PCs with freeze problems running this, also mine.

Just a random thread about it:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=125955

I catched this with Kerneloops
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315199

After resetting Firefox (-safe-mode) and also got new Xulrunner updates it seems to be stable again (fta-ppa)

Running Jaunty latest updates.

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

Plun, if you are still running 180.22, can you comment on the suspend/resume behavior (Bug 306315)?

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

This driver just hit the repositories this morning. I'll install and we'll see what happens.

I've got a Dell XPS M1330, NVidia Geforce 8400M GS and Suspend does _NOT_ work properly.

With pm-suspend it does not work at all ( so no Suspend from KDE4 ), s2disk 0.8 ( installed from Debian ) seems to work, s2ram does not work.
I read changing to a Text Console before Suspend works, but thats no solution for me.
