Bug Description
After installing nvidia-current and by default the nvidia-prime drivers I am unable to login.
Originally posted on the ubuntu forums. Considering this issues has happened to me every time I've tried to install drivers (wiped the disk and reinstalled three times) I'd like to elevate this for further examination.
Here I posted to the ubuntu forums with my dmesg, xorg logs, display information, specs
