Comment 6 for bug 195767

I can confirm this bug happening on my Kubuntu system with Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 card. Just updated today.

I noticed that the crash happens every time the glx module is accessed. I removed all the settings requiring 3d from my startup and got the kde to start properly. But every time I try to start an application that requires glx, the crash happens (example glxgears).

Feb 27 18:46:24 mediacenter kernel: [ 1170.254147] NVRM: components have the same version.

I also tried the keyboard-trick, but that did not have any effect on my machines crashing.

I believe this is related to the recent update in linux-restricted-modules and nvidia-glx.
