Public bug reported: Ubuntu 13.04
Just got the latest linux-headers-3.8.0-18 update. After a restart Grub launches, if I choose Ubuntu (its either that or a memory test) I get a screen of jumbled text and nothing else happens, though the term "kernel tainted by nvidia" or something to that effect can be seen in the text I did a hard shutdown, grub launches again and use the advanced options to pick the previous kernel and everything back to normal. Using the Nvidia 310 updates repo Removing the Nvidia repo and using the default Xorg graphics lets the system boot up normally.
