Rebooting now takes me to a CLI login prompt. But when I try to give it my login credentials, the screen flickers and then it takes me to the GUI login prompt.
After logging in, everything seems to function as it has been since installing last month, only it pops up a "system error" box, asks to load a blue million files to file a bug report with, but after an hour it has not done anything at all. (Literally an hour, I decided to wait since most of the bug reports it has been filing usually take 3-5 minutes.) Rebooting brings it back to the normal startup - that is, no login at all, but straight to the desktop, like I had initially set it to do. Rebooting again goes back through the login prompts. When it goes through the login screen reboot (as opposed to going straight to the desktop like it also does sometimes,) it is also completely ignoring the 'viewportout' settings in xorg.conf. The Xorg log shows a lot of nvidia and nouveau entries; but does not show why that would randomly switch how it decides how to let me login. udev log is ~14000 lines long, mostly relating to the sound. This makes sense given the sound issues. but again - nothing pointing to login or viewportout. kern.log is also huge (~10000 lines), but the most recent entries are primarily hda-codec related. dpkg log is ~225000 lines long, and I honestly don't feel like spending my day reading through that much stuff - I'm really not even sure what to look for to find something relating to when it decides to take me to a cli login, and gui login, or just go straight to the desktop - this was always done as a 'set it and forget it' switch in previous versions of Ubuntu. why they had to change it is beyond me. gpu-manager.log, interestingly, ends with: System configuration has changed Removing xorg.conf. Path: /etc/X11/xorg.conf Which is interesting since my system has *not* changed; all I did is reboot. And curiously, there IS an xorg.conf. This latest solution does not seem like it is working very well at all.
