Title:
  After installing Nvidia drivers and rebooting Admin account has no
  permissions to do anything

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After a fresh installation from the 64 bit alt CD onto a software
  raid0 configuration of two SSD drives everything works as expected.
  After installing the NVIDIA drivers from the hardware manager dialogue
  and rebooting i have no permissions to view and use sound, shutdown or
  reboot (just logs out to gdm and refuses to shutdown from there too),
  cannot mount any drives, or any system utilities requiring su
  permissions. If un installation of the NVIDIA drivers is performed and
  rebooted the problem disappears. This is repeatable on another system
  using SSD drives and raid 0 vis software raid (mdadm). When not using
  software raid and no SSD drives the problem doesnt exist. The problem
  can intermittently exist when using either software raid 0 with
  ordinary drives, or when using SSD drives and no raid.

  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04
