     That was when the problems started.

        Perhaps you should stay with it and contribute it getting
     it fixed.

         I would be glad to help fix the -15 problem. I do have the
     kernel. And it does mess up my computer in defined ways as
     reported. Did that with I think the 8.11 kernel that had no
     sound.

185 aren't the latest Nvidia drivers, maybe upgrade to 190 and see if
that resolves the issue.
Yep, am aware of that from reading the list.  I meant the latest from
the Ubuntu mirrors and should have made that clear.

Ahh my bad :)

No bad at all; thanks for the reminder that I need to try it out.
