I was unable to install Ubuntu 12.10 today from USB stick on my PC with a Geforce 580GTX due to this bug. It would happen within a minute or so after Unity coming up. Had to install with a spare radeon. Working better now after installing nvidia closed source drivers (which was quite a challenge for a newbie like me since it wouldn't list it under 'Additional Drivers' without the card actually being in the PC)
