Suddenly cannot boot into Ubuntu.
I am running ubuntu 11.04 at my asus laptop.

Laptop specs:

  • CPU: i5-2410M @ 2,3GHz
  • RAM: 4GB
  • GPU: nvidia gforce GT 520M / (also the cpu has a graphics processor)

I get these errors when I am trying to boot normally:

  1. http://tinypic.com/r/mrdvt/7
  2. http://tinypic.com/r/2ccvtci/7
  3. http://tinypic.com/r/2uz9p9j/7
  4. http://tinypic.com/r/242v0j8/7
  5. http://tinypic.com/r/rab81z/7

I can only boot at ubuntu using the recovery and the failsafe graphic option..

Using lspci | grep VGA at the terminal, I get this:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1050 (rev a1)   

What is wrong?
What should I do?

The problem is caused by xorg config file, see here:
"You do not appear to be using the nvidia x server"(screenshot included)

Sorry for the inconvenience.
