Bug Description
Compiz crashed, but before apport-gtk would give me any useful information, apport-gtk demanded that I uninstall the nvidia drivers I installed in order to remedy problems I was having with nvidia drivers supplied by ubuntu. I would at least like to know what problem compiz encountered even if I am using a supposedly unsupported drivers.
| summary: |
- Ubuntu wants me to replace buggy binary drivers from nvidia with older - buggy drivers from nvidia supported by ubuntu + Apport-gtk does not give very helpful feedback about what happened soon + enough. |
