You have been subscribed to a public bug: Introduction: upgrading my system to precise 12.04, the upgrade procedure removed nvidia proprietary drivers (nvidia-173-updates) because the version on the repository had some broken dependency with new version of xserver. After the upgrade my 12.04 system worked with nouveau drivers (but slowly than proprietary drivers).
Today (27/7/2012) the repositories was updated with new version of nvidia-173(-updates) drivers, rebuilded to gain xserver compatibility. I do the same procedure as the older ubuntu versions (see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/hardware/C/jockey.html) to install proprietary drivers, but after reboot the graphic environment doesn't start anymore: after some seconds with the Ubuntu logo, the system returns at the shell with login prompt. If I try to launch "startx" command manually, I see some daemons to start (with [ok] in the right side of the screen) and then the execution stopped without any error message, the keyboard freeze (the numlock key doesn't work anymore...) Tried to uninstall and reinstall nvidia-173 and nvidia-173-updates manually more times (eg. sudo apt get install nvidia-173) If I simply uninstall the nvidia proprietary driver, the system returns to work with no problems... Perhaps a nvidia-173(-updates) package bug? What else can I check?
