["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Shreepad S, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [nvidia GT 240] no desktop after X started

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  Tried to run, in order
  - Ubuntu 12.04 LiveDVD (64-bit Desktop): Burnt to DVD and booted from disk
  - Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD (64-bit Desktop): Written to USB stick via usb-creator and booted from USB
  - Xubuntu 12.04 LiveCD (64-bit Desktop): Written to USB stick via usb-creator and booted from USB

  In each case, got the same behaviour
  - System would boot from the disk/ USB
  - Would be presented with the splah/ progress screen (the one with the dots on plain background for Ubuntu and bouncing progress bar with background image for Xubuntu)
  - After that screen would fill up with coloured noise, random black/ coloured pixels all over the screen
  - Unable to do anything other than a hard reboot

  This was with using an old NVidia GT 240 card (which works fine with Lucid 10.04.4 64-bit Desktop). Complete system specs:
  - Intel C2D E7200 || Intel DG33FB mobo || 4 GB RAM || 64 bit Lucid Desktop || WD Caviar Black 1TB, Green 2TB
  - Palit Sonic GT 240 (OC'd NVidia card) || Dell U2412M Monitor || Logitech Quickcam Connect || Acer 3300U Scanner

  Next I went into BIOS and forced it to use the onboard Intel graphics
  (Intel DG33FB board with Intel GMA 3100 graphics) and Xubuntu booted
  up fine and got into the desktop with no problems. Launched a few apps
  and all seems fine.

  Based on my advanced analytical skills (!) I conclude there is a problem with the graphics driver on the LiveCD/DVD in Ubuntu/Xubuntu.
  WORKAROUND:  Use the NVidia proprietary drivers (nvidia-current, v295.40) installed from the repos under 'safe mode'.
