This is good info, can you paste it into a bug report? If you can't use
ubuntu-bug, you can file it manually at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+filebug
It's helpful if you can file the bug report, because then we can contact
you for information or to let you know when it's fixed.
