Comment 10 for bug 571567

Update: The issue is not Kubuntu or KDE specific. In what can only be described as the actions of a desperate man I downloaded and installed the "official" Ubuntu with Gnome. Fresh install, same symptoms after enabling Nvidia drivers. I've had bad experiences before when upgrading to new Ubuntu versions. Was waiting for the final release just for this reason. And now a vanilla install doesn't work. Gutted. I know I don't have to enable Nvidia drivers. First time in six years I had to use Windows on my home laptop. 7 isn't too bad actually.
