I have the same problem on a GeForce GT 220, running 302.17 Ubuntu 12.04 and I upgraded to that (from 10.04 originally).
A manual 'sudo start lightdm' works perfectly, so I guess X tries to start before the Nvidia kernel module is loaded. This happens on almost every boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865111 Title: X quits, instead of waiting for kernel module to load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/865111/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
