Public bug reported:
My work around is:
keep my PC on top of a work table beside my workstation to facilitate video
card switching.. to remove it and install an AMD Radeon HD5450 which will boot
and switch to nouveau with the new hardware discovery. Older boot attempts in
the syslog file indicate to my limited view the Nvidia driver has no authority
to access it's own files after kernel update an hour and a half ago. The root
cause.. not really Xorg, ...go figure. Before the update I was thinking..
should I switch to nouveau for the update. Nahhh they fixed that nvidia driver
kernel bug. It actually was for a while.
Ubuntu 14.04
Nvidia GTX 460, old iron.
ASRock Fata1ity amd mobo, this also used to happen on my gigabyte board over
the last year and a half.
email me if you didn't get the syslog.
