Having similar problems here. "sudo start gdm" at the terminal works without issues. I've noticed that the time stamp for "NVRM: loading NVIDIA..." in /var/log/messages is later then when the Xorg log fails to initialize the nVidia module, but don't know if this means anything.
I have a Dell Inspiron 531S, AMD Athlon 64 X2, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop AMD64, and a nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430]. ** Attachment added: "logs.tar" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47839666/logs.tar -- gdm not starting on bootup with nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
