You updated your (nvidia) gpu driver. This updated libraries on the system, they are not compatible with old (nvidia) kernel modules, so you need to reload the kernel modules. But you cannot do so with a running X11, so need to just restart your system.

PS: I feel a bit like on of those ppl from the IT crowd ^^
PPS: There is even a error message in your infolog.txt telling exactly this:
NVIDIA: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 304.43, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 304.88. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.

Instead of restarting you can _try_:

Code: Select all

ctrl+alt+f1 into a text console
log in
$ sudo umount -a (minimize damage of potential crash)
$ sudo service gdm stop (maybe it's not called "gdm" anymore... no idea)
$ sudo modprobe -rv nvidia
$ sudo modprobe -v nvidia
$ dmesg |  tail -40 (informational only)
$ sudo service gdm start
ctrl+alt+f1 back into the text console
$ sudo mount -a
$ exit
ctrl+alt+f7 back into the gfx (possible f8)
This may or may not crash your PC :D
(Happend to me only once in 50 times.)

In case it is not obvious, the commands dansan provided will close the graphical environment, and at the end you will need to re-login. Should be faster than a reboot though :wink:
