I tried something different to generate more meaningful output. -- Logged in from the command-line and ran "startx". The session started just fine, however there was no Gnome Panel loaded whatsoever.
-- Pressed F12 to launch Guake terminal and typed "unity --replace &" and hit enter. This dropped me immediately to the shell and I observed an error message regarding a segmentation fault pertaining to the nvidia-current driver (please see screen photos attached). ** Attachment added: "IMG_0854.JPG" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/973096/+attachment/3272168/+files/IMG_0854.JPG -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973096 Title: Nvidia driver causes xorg crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/973096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
