Public bug reported:
I was humming along and appeared to be fine, then the system froze
completely and forced me to power-cycle to get it to come back to life.
On doing so, booting into the current 3.10 (3.10.0-1.8) kernel for
Saucy, there was no nvidia driver, and an error in the xorg logs saying
that the driver failed to load.
I was left with X in a failsafe mode, and no desktop, only a black
screen and an X cursor... no way to do anything useful at all.
To get to a working system, I had boot into the older 3.9.0-7.15 which
did have a working, compiled nvidia driver.
