Public bug reported: Currently running with nouveau driver.
After activating nvidia-current driver trough additional drivers I did a reboot. The system then fails to load the graphical driver, and freezes completly. I'm not able to get into a shell or anything. The system powers down when pressing power button. To fix this, I booted in failsafe mode and removed the nvidia-current driver via root console.
