All I did was...
Code:
vindsl@Zuul:~$ gksudo gedit /usr/src/nvidia-304-304.117/nv-acpi.c
To find the location of your 'nv-acpi.c' file, try...
Code:
$ whereis nv-acpi.c
Comment-out this section...
Code:
/* if (pNvAcpiObject->notify_handler_installed)
* {
* NV_ACPI_OS_WAIT_EVENTS_COMPLETE();
*
* // remove event notifier
* status = acpi_remove_notify_handler(device->handle, ACPI_DEVICE_NOTIFY, nv_acpi_event);
* }
*/
Save.
Install 3.13-rc5.
Reboot.
Simple pimple!
