Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-common
I run the development version of Karmic on my 64 bit machine.
First thing this morning, my machine was running with nvidia accelerated
graphics.
Later today I updated with apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade.
The upgrade appeared to go okay. I restarted the machine. It loaded up
into a text console.
I logged in, and tried "startx". It failed. I looked in xorg.conf, and
commented out the line saying to use a nvidia driver. After this,
startx worked but with basic graphics (not accelerated).
I tried going to the Appearance Preferences menu and turning on
accelerated graphics. It asked me if it's okay to download a driver and
install it. I agreed to this, and something was downloaded and
installed. A confusing message implied I should restart the machine to
see accelerated graphics. I restarted, and was back in text mode with
startx not starting.
"sudo modprobe nvidia" gives me the response "FATAL: Module nvidia not
found."
I spoke with StevenK on #ubuntu-devel, and he asked me to file this bug.
