I thought I was affected by this bug but it was actually a different root cause in my case.
The actual cause was my dual display setup. When I switched to the nvidia driver from nouveau, I didn't realize that I had even plugged in my "second" display. While the display was actually powered off, the driver was still able to automatically detect it. The second display, which was off, got chosen as primary display which. The end result was that I was able to reach the console but not see the X screen on the primary. -- Black screen after installing Nvidia drivers on 10.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
