** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: gdm
+ When trying to boot the LiveCD, or an Ubuntu 10.10 installation upgraded
+ from 10.04, the computer completely freezes. I can get in by adding
+ nomodeset to the boot options. After installing the proprietary nVidia
+ driver, everything works as expected.
  
- When trying to install Maverick on my Desktop, I ran into quite a few
- issues. First off, when using the live cd and selecting "Install
- Ubuntu," the installer didn't appear, only the top "panel" with the
- Sound and Shutdown icons, which didn't work. I then tried to use the
- other option "Try Ubuntu without installing," but that simply left me
- staring at the plymouth screen. If seemed like everything loaded, just
- in the background. Also, the keyboard locked up, and even the *lock keys
- didn't work, unless I used "ctrl+alt+sysrq+r".
+ I've tested this with both 10.10, and the latest daily of 11.04.
  
- Finally, I successfully installed it with the alternative cd, but now
- I'm again stuck with a locked keyboard and a cursor, only this time it's
- not during plymouth, but just after having logged in using GDM! Only the
- cursor and the default wallpaper are on the screen; no icons, no panels,
- no nothing. I can move the cursor so it's not a total freeze.
- 
- I was able to use ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a TTY before logging in, and
- installed all available updates. Didn't help. I also tried Gnome Safe
- Mode, and Unity. Same result. Haven't tried KDM yet, will do if it
- helps.
+ This is the same as a bug I reported earlier, bug #632231, but since
+ that one got off-track I've marked it as invalid, and submitted this
+ report with what I hope is a clearer description of the bug, and hope to
+ have a good cooperation and get it solved.
