Bug Description

The only event I noticed was a failure of updates. I have not noticed any graphic errors other than an annoying event when using open office text editor which may not be connected with nvidia: When I type a space, the cursor does not advance until after I type a character after typing the space. Typing multiple spaces does not advance the cursor. In Microsoft Word 2007, the cursor advances after I type a space.

Back to nvidia, I am not noticing any problems that I can connect to nvidia. I'm not even sure what nvidia is. I do notice that Rhythmbox Music Player does not always launch on first attempt to launch it. For some reason, at times, I have to launch it twice before it comes up. At times it launches right away, when I first start my computer and have not used any other programs before launching Rhythmbox Music Player. Only occasionally do I hear music catching and not playing smoothly. It's not a problem that occurs often.
