Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
NOTE: First I think it's the same bug as #738789 but in my situation GDM appears and I'm able to login before it freeze.
Follow steps on http://
1. Boot stock system on compatible video hardware, using the appropriate open source driver (or -vesa). By default, Ubuntu boots with the open source driver.
-> boot successfully and able to login (but no Unity 3D)
2. Note the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or simply note absence of the file)
-> xorg.conf file not exists
3.Go to System : Administration : Hardware Drivers
4.Verify that it correctly identifies that a video driver is available for this hardware
5.Install the recommended driver
-> There's a driver avaliable and I can install it successfully.
6.Verify that a *.ko file is installed properly for the correct kernel(s)
find /lib/modules/ -type f -ls -iname '*.ko' | grep -E "/nvidia-
Check that the timestamp of the file is correct.
-> Timestamp of file is about the time I run command above.
7.Note new contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. It should list the name of the proprietary driver as a minimum.
-> The name of the proprietary driver is not exist. There are only these line in xorg.conf

2: Section "Device"
3: Identifier "Default Device"
4: Option "Nologo" "True"
5: EndSection

8.Reboot
9.Verify the GUI display comes up
-> Display comes up with strange resolution and freeze (but able to move mouse) after login.
10.Verify the proprietary driver loaded
grep -E "LoadModule:
-> Found (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"

Hi chalet,
Unfortunately the apport hook did not attach all the X logs and such. Please run 'apport-collect 749524', which hopefully should attach all the stuff we need.
Also, can you indicate if you have ia32-libs installed, or if your system is hybrid graphics?
If you have ia32-libs installed, please temporarily uninstall it and try reproducing the problem. ia32-libs has a copy of mesa with a different GLX than nvidia uses.
If you are on a hybrid graphics system, note that hybrid graphics switching is not implemented or supported on Ubuntu, so please configure your hardware to disable any non-nvidia graphics cards and try again.
