On reboot, I get to my login screen, but then everything is frozen - the cursor blinks in the box where I am supposed to enter my password, but the keyboard doesn't work and my mouse is frozen. I don't know if this has something do do with the xorg update that happened in connection with my nvidia driver. I can't even kill X because, stupid me didn't configure the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace when it was no longer automatically configured. Right now, I have booted from a Kubuntu live CD so was able to get into the system to write this. Is there a way I can fix this without having to do a complete reinstall?
