After the recent upgrades, which might include the Xorg 1.9 upgrade, or
else a kernel upgrade, my system rebooted and the display came not back,
i.e. gdm didn't start.
The message was:
[ 1610.174] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check
your
[ 1610.174] (EE) NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages.
[ 1610.174] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
[ 1610.174] (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
[ 1610.174] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)
After googling I found that removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf would help. And
indeed it does, as the nVidia driver is not loaded anymore. After more
googling I got a hint that getting the latest nVidia might help as this
was due to X 1.9.0. Ubuntu delivers 260.19.06-0ubuntu1, but the latest
nVidia drivers are NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.21.run.
And indeed, that solved the issue. I'm now running my own nVidia
drivers.
