10.04 randomly boots into CLI mode
I have someone that I setup on Ubuntu 10.04 and recently it has been booting into CLI mode on random boots, however it is not giving any visible errors or giving any reason for the error. Upon reviewing the web it look like it may be related to the nvidia drivers being mis-configured.
Have anyone else experienced this issue or have any recommendations for ways to track and fix the problem?

It install do like so:
cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/sgfxi && chmod +x sgfxi && sgfxi
I don't know how you feel about third party scripts but I've used this one every time I had a kernel update back in Debian and it never failed. It removes everything left by the old install, then reinstalls. Can't get any cleaner than that.
Ubuntu installer works, but I'm not sure if it cleans up before installing.
These days with fedora looking at Xorg.0.log usually has answers for anything video related problems.
