Hi Remco,

Sorry but there is not enough information included in this bug report to diagnose it. You did not explain the bug sufficiently, and none of the logs you provided indicate a crash or other failure, so there is not anything to go on. Feel free to reopen the bug with a better elaboration of the problem if you'd like.

Changed in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu):
