Title:
  Ubuntu fails to boot with nVidia proprietary driver

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

Bug description:
  After installing the proprietary nvidia driver in Ubuntu Natty (32bit
  and 64bit tested) and rebooting, the system freezes before reaching
  the login screen. The system can boot fine using the nouveau package,
  but as soon as nvidia-current is installed the system crashes. Trying
  to switch to a tty doesn't work, the only way to reboot after this is
  to use the magic sysrq combination, and then boot into text mode to
  remove the nvidia-current driver.

  The card in my machine is:
  03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9300 / nForce 730i] (rev b1)

  The driver version I installed, both on 32 and 64bit systems is
  270.41.06-0ubuntu1.
