[Bug 335879] [NEW] nvidia driver 180.35 breaks KDE 4, upgrade to 180.37 is needed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

After installing the nvidia driver version 180.35, I can no longer log
out of KDE.

If I look in the process list I can see a long list of defunct processes
that are all children of ksmserver. The only workaround seems to be to
log in with an empty session (i.e disable 'Restore Previous session').

It seems that somehow the nvidia driver is causing this problem. There's a long thread on the nvnews forum here :
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=128992

The cure seems to be to revert back to 180.29, but it's far from obvious
how to do this.

Needs Package Created for: nvidia driver 180.37
nVidia Driver URL: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/
