This probably needs to go in a "General" forum, but I don't see one called that.
I was at a bus stop taking my tower to the Freegeek lab. I met a young kid there, who was introduced to computers a few years ago. Because of what psychologists call the Language Acquisition Device, I've come to respect the skills of young kids with a few years of computer familiarity.
This morning I updated some required packages using Synaptic. Upon completion, the system told me a restart was required. I chose to restart later and finish some work first. Just now I tried to do the required restart, but unfortunately my pc does not want to start anymore.
The startup process is not even getting started.
I have used rEFIt to achieve triple-boot on my 15' Retina Macbook Pro. However, for now I cannot get the nVidia drivers to work under Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
Every time after I installed the nVidia Driver, X won't restart, and give me an error of "No screens found".

Every time I restart the computer, the Sound Card in "Sound and Video Configuration" at "Phonon" under "Audio Hardware Setup" is reset to "HD-Audio Generic".
Which does not work, so I select "SB Audigy" instead and sound works just fine. Until I restart the computer.
Hello,
