Hi, the best way to report problems like this is to include more
information.
open a terminal and run
lspci
to find your graphics card.
Now for some more specific questions.
Did the video card work with an older kernel?
If it worked on your current OS with an older kernel simply boot into
that older kernel and see if it works as expected.
The way to do this is to hold down *SHIFT* after your initial BIOS
screen (the screen that says the computer manufacturers name, i.e. DELL
or whatever it is) This will take you into GRUB (the bootloader)
Then go to Advanced Options (I think that is the menu item... it is
directly below Ubuntu) and choose the 3rd option... something like
Ubuntu 3.12
NOT recovery mode.
If this works we can easily inform you on how to make this temporarily
permanent so you can have a working system from which to debug.
Another option would be to hit the *E* key when you see the word Ubuntu
and replace "quiet splash" with "nomodeset" to the end of the line
beginning with "linux"
Please report back and let us know your VGA card, and what you tried,
and if either suggestion worked to help you.

Hi,
This is a kernel problem and not specifically a lubuntu problem, but
maybe someone might know the answer.
Right now I'm running kernel 3.13_0_2 on my desktop. The nvidia
drivers for the video card (I don't know the model; almost always the
takes the 304.xx drivers) don't work. Neither the open source driver
or the non-free driver from nvidia will install.
The main problem is that nvidia.ko can't compile correctly. Is there
a way to patch the driver up without having to compile my own linux
kernel? I do not look forward to the latter.
