Comment 31 for bug 573557

"This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers - 195.36.15-0ubuntu3"

Well, not quite.

I am running kubuntu 10.04, with kde desktop. When I boot with the nvidia-current driver (which is 195.36.15-0ubuntu3) I get to the kdm login screen. I log in, the kde ksplasher screen starts, then quits, and I get thrown back to the login screen (the "kde login loop problem"). Switching to a gnome session works, and gnome appears to be working properly (the visual effects all work). But I can't get into kde at all.

What I did:
1. Logged out of kde, into the console.
2. sudo service kdm stop ;; kill x
3. sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall ;; remove patched proprietary drive that works properly
4. sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings ;; install 195.36.15-0ubuntu3
5. sudo reboot
6. boot with 'nomodeset' kernel option
7. Gets to kdm greeter, and after login, loops back to greeter. Only way out is to choose something other than kde.
8. Tried turning off compositing in kwinrc - didn't help.
9. Tried removing my xorg.conf - didn't help.
10 tried using 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' to set up a new xorg.conf - didn't help.
11. Removing the nvidia-current package and reinstalling the patched proprietary driver - fixes.

So there is something in nvidia-current that still isn't working right. (unless I messed something)
