@Joseph re:#4 - Possibly, but there's not enough info in that bug and the description of "hung" is too vague to be sure. To be clear, my system doesn't "hang" per se - lightdm just can't start. I can still alt-f# over to a tty once the nvidia driver fails to start.

@Brad re:#3 - I already tested with 3.2.0-3.9, as mentioned in comment #1. I will add the tag bot-stop-nagging.

@Brad re:#2 - I don't believe I can run that command properly, as it invokes a gui and browser and the bug prevents me from starting X. I could run it while running nouveau - but I'm not sure that would provide any useful information. Let me know if you would like me to do that anyway.

I see that this has already been marked as confirmed, but would appreciate if anyone else reading and experiencing this bug could chime in and /really/ confirm that it's affecting multiple users/systems. From the symptoms, my testing, and past lack of problems with nvidia-current, my confidence is high that it's not a unique problem to my individual hardware, but everyone could use a sanity check now and then. :)
