Bug description:
Especially on nVidia cards, the default nouveau driver may not work
and the user would have to add a nouveau fake parameter at boot
options in order to crash the driver. It would be much better,
especially for unexperienced Ubuntu users, to have an easy option to
boot with safe graphics. For instance I filled the nouveau bug #564572
on april 2010 and it hasn't been fixed. A new Ubuntu user would
probably just give up because it doesn't work. The live session should
either have a "safe graphics" or an automatic blacklist of nouveau for
a certain graphic cards that have known critical bugs.
