Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 576648, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Also note, the proprietary drivers (like nvidia) for Ubuntu 11.04 don't support kernel 3.0. If you wish to use kernel 3.0 you should upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 which should be available in the coming day.

thanks Daniel
