180.35 is already in the tree. The legacy ones will come shortly
Comment 3 Neil Cathey 2009-02-26 06:56:03 UTC
I just did an update on my amd64 box, including a number of packages such as qt-4.5, kdelibs-4.2, glibc, and nvidia-drivers-180.35.  After rebooting, I noticed something odd: ctrl-c no longer worked in konsole.  I began noticing other problems, such as un-closable tabs in konsole (I could type "exit" and the shell would quit, but the tab would stay open) and I could no longer logout from the kde-4.2 desktop (ctrl-backspace killed it, however).  After looking at the package list I had emerged recently, I honestly had no idea what could be causing the problem, so I started downgrading packages (kdelibs-4.2.0-r3 to kdelibs-4.2.0-r2, for example).  Still broken.  In desperation, I downgraded nvidia-drivers-180.35 to 180.29, and suddenly everything started working again.  I thought that was odd, so I visited the forums at nvnews.net, and other people are reporting the same problems.  For reference, you may want to look at the following threads:

If you feel this is more appropriate in a new bug, I can open one.

I got some severe problems after that one too.
But with Gnome (~x86).

Should be mask for the time I think...

Greetings

Ditto comment #3 - ctrl-c didn't work in any terminal emulator (locally), but did on remote systems SSHed into in the same terminal.  It's not KDE-specific, I use xterm, uxterm, and XFterm.

Seemed like several other signals were being trapped as well: screen wouldn't exit properly, SSH tunnels refused to tear down, ctrl-z wouldn't suspend, and so on.  Oddly enough, ctrl-d and ctrl-v were still working well.

Neil, someone beat you to it.  5:)  The new bug to follow is bug 260441.
Comment 7 RB 2009-02-26 22:14:37 UTC
Actually, that one was the "dupe" - posted at 21:09, whereas Neil's info was posted at 06:56.  ;)
Comment 8 Neil Cathey 2009-02-27 00:39:48 UTC
It doesn't matter to me which is the dupe, I just knew that I spent HOURS troubleshooting those issues.  I just wanted to pass along the info to hopefully save someone else the trouble.

180.37 builds fine with a simple version bump, at least here.

do this in portage?
Comment 11 Jose daLuz 2009-03-07 14:49:09 UTC
It built with no problems with a rename of the 180.29 ebuild from portage. I've been running it with no apparent issues since it came out.

All bumped.
