Bug description:
Until yesterday the 14.04 install on this Thinkpad T530 (nvidia
Optimus) with nvidia-331 drivers worked just fine, including excellent
multi-monitor behavior. Yesterday the set of packages below [1] was
updated. I shut down, booted this morning and found out that I was not
shown the lightdm login screen: I was stuck at the purple screen that
precedes it (into which I enter my disk encryption password).
Now the funny thing is that I could hear the lightdm startup sound and
could actually login by typing my password (disk activity and started
processes verify I am actually logged in), but I can't see anything:
I'm still stuck at the puple screen.
Uninstalling the nvidia drivers solved the problem: I'm typing this in
a browser window using the nouveau drivers.
I atttempted switching to nvidia-304, but that doesn't work either.
Using those drivers I am shown the lightdm login screen, but after
logging in I'm stuck with a screen showing only the background image.
Nothing else is available, no keyboard or mouse trickery will reveal
any menu, dialog or terminal to gain access.
Since nouveau doesn't support a multi-monitor setup, it would be great
if I someone could tell me how to get the nvidia drivers working
again.
Some things I noticed:
- .xsession-errors reported 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"'
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log reported 'setversion 1.4 failed: Permission denied'
