Public bug reported:
I installed the NVidia driver by using Ubuntu's jockey app
(automatically popped up by Ubuntu). The next reboot was failed to start
X and I was no longer able to use the laptop. This is an Asus K42JV
laptop with NVidia GT 335M.
As a workaround I deleted the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (it was created by
nvidia-xconfig), its content was as follows:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeis...@builder75) Thu Apr 22 11:44:23

As far I can check, the NVidia driver is not used by the system now.
