CTRL-C and CTRL-Z not working after nvidia-driver upgrade and high CPU usage
Yesterday I ran the usual system upgrades of my gentoo system (emerge –sync;emerge -uND world). After a reboot I noticed that in my gnome-terminal CTRL-C and CTRL-Z didn’t work any more. I also noticed that nautilus was using up one CPU completely.
The first reason I thought of was the kbd upgrade to 1.15. I tried to downgrade to 1.13-r1 again, but this did not solve the problem, but anyways, I’ll stay with 1.13 until the init script problems are solved in a newer ebuild.
After some hours of searching and trying I found the following in my dmesg output:
bluetooth-apple[9380] general protection ip:7f277c8b7e5e sp:7fff8b5fd270
error:0 in libGL.so.180.35[7f277c861000+a4000]
So I tried recompiling the bluetooth applet with no success. Well, it did compile, but the error was still there afterwards.
Afterwards the dmesg output hinted me to try downgrading nvidia-drivers from 180.35 to 180.29 , which solved the problem.

same here. thanks for helping me verify the issue :). but what worries me is it seems to be gentoo specific. just the way libs are linked? i also have a ubuntu 8.10 installation and no such issues there with nvidia 180.35. sometime back there was a similar crash issue with minefield (firefox trunk) or binary firefox for that matter, and was solved by compiling cairo without glitz (USE=-glitz). anyway, calling it regression and 180.29 for now.

Well, perhaps it’s just the xserver versiom I’m still running xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6. As far as I remember the version ubuntu ships is newer…

Its a pitty that one must downgrade to solve some problems, which had never occured without upgrading at first. Seems that Programmers should work more precise. Gentoo after all is a nice thing to use. Anyway, gld you solved you problem, hope to get some more of you Blog, always worth a visit! Regards 😉

[…] of my last experience with nvidias drivers (see: CTRL-C and CTRL-Z not working after nvidia-driver upgrade and high CPU usage) the nvidia-driver was my first supective. So I masked off nvidia-drivers-180.37 and downgraded to […]
