I think your problem is that you have installed  the proprietary  video
drivers with the ubuntu default kernel.  Because  UStudio needs realtime the
kernel that it uses is different from the ubuntu default kernel (at grub you
may choose the old kernel to see if this is the problem).

with nano see the Xorg log file:

nano /var/log/xorg.0.log

If so you have two choices:

1. change your graphic configuration so you may use the non proprietary
drivers (without 3d acceleration)

now you don't have Xorg working (graphic environment) so you already have a
command line :)

to change your Xorg config file must do:
enter your normal user and password

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup.file.in.case.i.f.up
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

(will ask your password again)
nano is like dos edit

where is

Driver		"nvidia"

change it to


Driver		"nv"


should work ;)




2. install the proprietary drivers again against the new kernel (harder to
do)

must have the kernel headers installed (with apt-get)
run the nvidia installer


sorry for bad english
