Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.04
Sony Vaio CW
Related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/668554

I started update process and came back an hour later to a blank screen. After reboot Ubuntu was loading but instead of login it came to a black screen again. Safe mode works, but not safe graphics mode.

Blank screen is a common problem with Sony Vaio CW, and I had to do some special setup with external monitor to get it to work in 2010. However, I don't think that an update should break it like that.

Looks like an updated nvidia driver could not handle configuration.
