Though I have a couple of machines, I always have live cds or bootable
USB drives so I can repair failed upgrades / corrupt system. The rare
time I need a second system is usually to serve as a wired Internet
connection until I resurect the wifi on the failed machine.

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
password. i'll track this down but, for now, i'll just get back to
work. how strange.
I just finished an upgrade to my SuSE box and it broke grub, several modules
including ext3 and video, My Laptop is now reminding me that 13.04 is waiting
I think I'll hold off a bit I start another adventure. And I now have a
Wheezy box to play with that I used to repair the SuSE machine.
What do people do that only have 1 machine, or does such a person exist
anymore.
