After the upgrade my 12.04 system worked with nouveau drivers (but slowly than proprietary drivers). Today (27/7/2012) the repositories was updated with new version of nvidia-173(-updates) drivers, rebuilded to gain xserver compatibility. I do the same procedure as the older ubuntu versions (see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/hardware/C/jockey.html) to install proprietary drivers, but after reboot the graphic environment doesn't start anymore: after some seconds with the Ubuntu logo, the system returns at the shell with login prompt. If I try to launch "startx" command manually, I see some daemons to start (with [ok] in the right side of the screen) and then the execution stopped without any error message, the keyboard freeze (the numlock key doesn't work anymore...) Tried to uninstall and reinstall nvidia-173 and nvidia-173-updates manually more times (eg. sudo apt get install nvidia-173) If I simply uninstall the nvidia proprietary driver, the system returns to work with no problems... Perhaps a nvidia-173(-updates) package bug? What else can I check?
