Both have<br>
an nVidia graphics card in them. I've installed the Ubuntu nVidia-340<br>
driver package from the Ubuntu repository and it seems to be running<br>
fine.<br>
<br>
However, every time I get a kernel update and have to reboot, I get<br>
one or two "problem report"s where the system detects a problem, asks<br>
me if I want to report it, and then when it runs, it tells me it can't<br>
report the problem because this isn't an Ubuntu package.<br>
<br>
I have this crazy expectation that drivers from the Ubuntu repository<br>
will either work properly or at least report problems upstream.<br>

I'm not entirely sure what that means. Any suggestions?<br>
