I left the machine for 1/2 hour, but it does not progress from the blank screen. I simply cannot use 260.19.06-0ubuntu1. This is a huge regression for me. I appreciate it is not this bug, but I cannot find the appropriate bug to file against . Can anyone point me to the appropriate bug for:

To be honest, looking at the nvidia package installed, I'm not clear what I should or should not have. I've not had problems here before, so I've never looked. For background, this machine was upgraded from Lucid. I have the following installed: nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really shouldn't have to be using backports on a system that has always worked. That doesn't solve the problem. I have been running 10.10 since it went beta and have solved plenty of issues since then, as is expected, but this is bonkers. A mainline aptitude

Someone over on the nvidia forums kindly suggested installing 256.53 from the nvidia repos. That has me up and running. I have no idea how this affects further Ubuntu updates, however. The Additional drivers tool still says (version current) [Recommended], which seems meaningless now. Why is there

I workaround my issue by installing the 256.53 drivers directly from nvidia. So anyone else facing an unusable machine that was fine before the 260 downdate, give this a try. -- nvidia 256.53 xorg-server 1.9.0 performance regression with antialiased text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629910

Hmm Well, X is 1.9 and nouveau is reporting that it is built for 1.8.99.905 (5 Aug, as it happens). Then it loops through a bunch of drmOpenMinor calls, all of which return -1 (geek for fail, I suspect). Then finally reports [drm] failed to open device No devices detected. Fatal server
