[Joaquín Ignacio Aramendía <samsagax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Followed these steps:
1. Fresh install of a daily build of Natty just updated (20/3/2011 1:30 pm GMT-3)
2. Log in on Unity with no error from Xorg (GSettings crashed and reported bug successfully).
3. Followed instructions on Installation test for nVidia Proprietary Drivers Xorg Team (http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/X/ProprietaryDrivers#Installation)
4. When in the step of rebooting, loaded the kernel 2.6.38-7-generic in grub and wait.
5. Ubuntu never got into GUI, not even into the command line as it used to. The last version I tested this (and dumped in the CLI) was Maverick on kernel  2.6.35-28-generic on this machine.

It happens every time I want to install the driver.

Expected result:
GUI or CLI login prompt

Result:
Hang up shell with blinking underscore responsive only to return key to new-line and ctr+alt+del to reboot.

I'll attach logs from kernel, xorg and xorg.conf if apport doesn't do
it.
