Same problem with NVidia GT240 card on "Ubuntu GNOME Remix" 12.10 Beta (64 Bit). Booting with "nomodeset" gets around the issue.

To reproduce, I just have to boot a daily live image from a USB stick. The followings happens (as shown in the camera screenshots I'm gonna attach): - The boot logo (shown by Plymouth) is distorted - Then for some seconds a very weird looking corrupted screen appears - Then the desktop has loaded, but shows only corruptions instead of the wallpaper - The dock on the left screen side is shown correctly, but it's not possible to start/use any application - The mouse cursor isn't shown, due to "shades" of tooltips you can sometimes guess where the cursor might be This is a regression from Precise and early Quantal, where Nouveau drivers worked much better. To report this bug, I had to boot the daily live image with the "nomodeset" option. Even the new software-rendered Unity desktop you get in this case is barely usable due to heavy repainting issues, but that might be another bug.
