There are still several issues on both Lubuntu 14.10 and Xubuntu 14.10
on my device.
Main issues are:
Lubuntu 14.10:
- only after a terminal upgrade of nvidia driver 304 I get a GUI back.
The automatic upgrade from the menu of the software updater gave me
again the old version of 304.123 resulting in a blank screen.
- login is required after screen time-out, which cannot be switched off.
The handling through Xfce Power Manager is confusing and doesn't
function well (e.g. system sleep mode cannot be changed from suspend).
Installing xscreensaver could help to control the handling of screen
time-out, but such action is not needed in L14.04.
I will replace shortly my current L14.10 with a fresh daily build and
see what happens, but I don't expect differences.
Xubuntu 14.10:
- only from terminal login and command startx I get a GUI with latest
driver 304.123
- although the nvidia sound card is recognized with command inxi -AG,
there is no output to the internal monitor speakers (in lubuntu 14.10
there is no sound problem at all)

Great Henk!
So everything works for both L(X)ubuntu?
This issue shouldn't be present then in the daily builds, is this correct?
You say there is a sound problem now?
Is this for Lubuntu or Xubuntu?
Maybe testing the daily image for Lubuntu will confirm that the
startx/nvidia issue is fixed.

I just read about an upgrade fix that was issued for nvidia 304.123
(see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1365336 at

Xubuntu 14.10 still needs startx to boot the desktop after an upgrade
to this driver was received.
Very strange there is still a sound problem in this distro.
In Lubuntu 14.10 I did therefore also an upgrade sudo upgrade
nvidia-304 and got the desktop back!

Hi Henk,
So, if I understand you
Lubuntu cannot enter the Destkop, because it cannot start the xserver.
Xubuntu fails to start the Xserver, but can start it from terminal.
Is this correct? The issue may still be the display manager since
Xubuntu does not start X automatically. However there is a possibility
that Xorg in Utopic has changes that make supporting your card
difficult. I wonder if there are any xorg or xserver updates since you
downloaded Lubuntu. I think someone with more understanding of the
entire display process of Linux needs to jump in here...
But... keep an eye on the updates, and see what packages come in an
either fix or break the machine. I may set up a VM to test this, but I
have some other stuff going on right now that is taking up a lot of
time :)

Strange enough Xubuntu 14.10 on the same PC doesn't start in GUI but
hangs after every boot at the terminal. After login and StartX the
desktop appears.
Both nouveau and NVDIA 304.123 video drivers do work well in Xubuntu
14.10 without any screen freezes so far . So there is difference with
Lubuntu 14.10.
In Lubuntu 14.10, sound handling is much improved and worked for me
out-of-the-box.
In Xubuntu 14.10 I haven't yet figured out how to get sound as
Pulseaudio cannot find there my built-in monitor speakers.

Thanks Israel
I had filed a bug report #1363919 in the nvidia drivers section some
days ago as I couldn't find a related report.
The screen dump of startx is different as before. It now only shows a
non-fatal error about XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (Type "ONE_Level" has
1 levels but <RALT> has 2 symbols).
A good idea to install Xubuntu 14.10 alongside. I'll let you know.

Hi Henk,
My guess is that this is something to do with lightdm still, since
you
just got an upgrade for it.
That would be the place to start looking. You could search
Launchpad to
see if there is a bug related to this issue. If you cannot find any,
I'd suggest opening a bug for it. It may effect users of different
desktop environments as well, and then we can know that it is not a
Lubuntu specific issue. If it is specific to Lubuntu then it may be
related to the Lubuntu session file.... (sorry I can't remember
what it
is called at the moment). This is the Lubuntu specific 'startx'
command.
I am guessing you still cannot 'startx' and get X up.
You could also try downgrading lightdm, I suppose, but that can be
rather messy when you do things like that...
Another option would be to install something like Xubuntu in a
secondary
partition and see if you are effected with the same issue when you
update.
Hope this is fully fixed before release!

Hi Henk,
What packages were upgraded on your system?
Something like this command:
awk '$3~/^upgrade$/ {print $4;}' /var/log/dpkg.log
can get that info.

The upgrade received today on Lubuntu 14.10 has fully resolved
this
problem.
Nvida-304.123 works OK now.
My thanks to the dev team.

After purging driver NVIDIA-304 I got my desktop back with the
default nouveau driver. However opening Firefox rapidly
caused a
screen freeze.
The older NVIDIA-173 did the same after installing and
rebooting. I
therefore switched back to NVIDIA-304.123 from the list and
again no
GUI...
So now I know (a) the absence of GUI was caused by the driver
and
(b) none of the recommended video drivers for Lubuntu 14.10
beta can
be used on this Geforce 6100 card.
For Lubuntu 14.04 (and 14.10 alpha) the recommended
NVIDIA-304.117
does not cause any problems.
