    I can confirm this problem. Something in this morning's update (2/28) has outright killed video. I can boot in single mode, but any attempt to start x kills the entire video display. REIUSB still works to kill the system, but can't escape from X to a text display.
    I also notice there appears to be a similar video problem on Precise. I don't have time to mess with it this morning; I am sending from Aptosid (which has the nouveau driver) so it might be a driver problem.
    Whatever this is, it's serious. Be careful of updating until this is resolved.

      Partial solution:

      I removed nvidia-current and installed the proprietary nvidia driver from their website:

      seems to be working so far. Must have been the libc6 update that hosed the driver.

        Make sure kubuntu-desktop is still installed, blank desktop on login is often caused by missing packages provided by kubuntu-desktop (ie the kde desktop :P )
