nvidia-319 black screen after upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10

[Raymond Leung]

I was on Ubuntu 13.04, just changed from nvidia-current to nvidia-319 a few days ago.

Today, I decided to upgrade to 13.10, after reboot,
1. The login screen was in low resolution.
2. Then right after login, an error dialog pop-up saying detected system problem, asking me whether to report the problem.
3. Further to proceed, then black screen with only mouse pointer freely to move.
4. Switched to command terminal tty1 (ctrl + alt + F1), logged in and used apt-get to remove nvidia-319 and re-install nvidia-current & nvidia-settings.
5. Rebooted and seems fine, the "Report System Problem" dialog pop-up again and now being directed to here to report the problem.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Hernawan Fa'iz Abdillah (abdillah)]

After installation, there is an error something like below.
systemd-udevd[12300] : Failed to apply ACL on /dev/dri/card1 : No such file or directory
Twice. Happens when I call sudo service lightdm restart.
When I check, dri folder contains card0. What thing it looking for? Is that card0 file or the missing one?

Addition
The screen sometimes blinking (actually just a strange light) on the top (up part).
