Public bug reported:
I've done 3 fresh installs of the 12.04 LTS 64bit system. Durring the
setup I've chosen to install 3rd party software and twice to preform
update durring the install.
In all 3 cases the PC crashes while trying to start the X server. There
is blank screen isntead of
What doesn't work:
1. Recovery loads fine but the Xorg files doesn't povide any usefull info and
running startx/lightdm hangs the system again
2. Xorg -configure fails with "Number of created screens does not match number
of detected devices." message
3. removing the xorg.conf file brings the nvidia logo instead of blank screen
but still hangs the system
4. The system loads fine when lightdm is disabled (from /etc/init/lightdm.conf )
5. The same bug accures when gdm is used instead of lightdm
What does work:
1. Removing the nvidia-current package from recovery and restart.
How to reproduce:
1. Installing the nvidia-current package again prevents the X from loading as
before.
