Comment 7 for bug 876499

Just installed 12.04. Same issue but worse. Could not get to graphical screens at all. Alt-f2 gave me command line. Did updates Nov 10, 2011 and still would not fully boot.
Uninstalled 173, installed nvidia-current , finally got to gui, but it used default video as it then popped up saying I could install proprietary drivers.
