[Bug 897436] [NEW] Screen corrupted without nomodeset on nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GTS 360M]

 

Public bug reported:

Can not boot up with the latest Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot without setting
nomodeset. I tried this on both Kubuntu as well as on Ubuntu. Previous
releases are also affected.

After installation and running updates I get presented with the icon to
install proprietary drivers after which I can boot up normally.
