[Launchpad Bug Tracker <598368@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Model: ASUS K42JV-X1
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GT 335M **

** I believe the laptop also has a Intel graphics adaptor from this
output from `lspci | grep -i "VGA"`

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)


Steps:
1. Install Ubuntu
2. Run `sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade && sudo reboot` (optional) 
3. Install the restricted Nvidia driver through jockey
4. Reboot

Result: 
I am left with a black screen upon boot. I see the grub "blinking cursor", then some flickering as if X or Plymouth were coming online and nothing happens. I am left with a black screen.

Note:
When I try to recover from this by booting into recovery mode, I see a lot of white text fly by (while booting into recovery mode), it says "Done." for a few seconds then again some flickering and a black screen. So essentially I cannot do much of anything.

Unfortunately, unless I'm willing to brick the machine a few times more
(which I can't now) I'm not sure how else to gather more information.
However, if there's anything I can gather, let me know.

** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu)
