Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
I am running ubuntu 10.04 Alpha2 and after last nights updates pressing the enter key causes the whole system to freeze and I have to hard reboot.
Only removing Plymouth would allow me to work normally.
The system still respond to ssh.
WORKAROUND (thanks to Simon Baconnais): kill X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Print+K fixes the problem until the next reboot.

This is true.
I have Nvidia graphic card (285 GTX) and 64-bit Lucid-alpha2.
This makes using terminal impossible.
As a workaround one has to downgrade the packages "plymouth" and "libplymouth2" back to the version 0.8.0~-7
So just download the packages (64-bit lucid) from: /edge.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ lucid/amd64? text=plymouth 0.8.0~- 7_amd64. deb libplymouth2_ 0.8.0~- 7_amd64. deb

and then reboot to recovery mode, drop to terminal, go to the directory where you downloaded packages, then run:
dpkg -i plymouth_
and reboot.
