On my home puter, I have to recompile an nvidea module every time I upgrade the kernel. It seems
likely that an Ubuntu upgrade would replace your kernel.
That might be what your elusive screen is telling you, and it might not.
Can't give you my notes on it, they are at home, I'm not.
Tail dmesg right after it happens, look at /var/log/Xorg*
weirdly, i can now log in graphically as long as i *don't* specify a

The message <<requirement "user ingroup *nopasswdlogin*" not met by user

I don't know if it's related, but I notice that Mint changed
/etc/sudoers so that I'm no longer prompted for my password when doing
administrative tasks. I'm not sure I'm liking this.
I wonder what Ubuntu/Canonical/Mint is thinking...
