[Bug 871936] [NEW] Live session switches to VT console [nvidia]

[Chad A. Davis]

Public bug reported:

After booting the live CD and selecting "Try Ubuntu" I am switched to a
console while the X server is restarted, it contains many boot messages
that are not of interest to the end-user.  As far as I understand, the X
server has to be restarted, but as mentioned in bug 813065, the console
should probably be cleared first to provide a smoother end-user
experience.

Whereas bug 813065 is specific to Intel video cards, and appears fixed,
this bug here is specific to Nvidia video cards.
