Take a look at this thread in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1501156
one temporary workaround i found was to comment out a part of /etc/init/gdm.conf after a week of working very well, the problem came back and now ubuntu goes directly to text login. I think this is part of a larger issue in init or gdm and not an issue with nvidia. -- nvidia driver sometime does not load at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532436 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
