Hi, I think I just got bitten by this same bug. Runing ubuntu 14.10. I installed nvidia drivers on Dell Vostro notebook. After this, any attempt to log in to Xwindows results in a loop and returns to the login window.
I tried following the suggestion here and booting with "nogpumanager". It seems to have broken something else and now the machine gets stuck in booting, even after removing it again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310489 Title: xorg.conf overwritten by booting system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1310489/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
