You have been subscribed to a public bug: So I have been using Ubuntu 14.04 with a GTX 970 graphics card and the Nvidia driver without any serious issues. The driver was from downloaded using 'Additional Drivers' option in Ubuntu. No drivers were installed manually. I had been using the 352 drivers. After upgrading to kernel 4.2.0-42-generic from 4.2.0-41-generic I cannot get past the login screen and the login screen has low resolution.
I have tried the following to resolve the issue: Manually installing the latest Nvidia graphics drivers Trying both the open source and proprietary 352 drivers Changing Ubuntu from 14.04 to 16.04 I can login if I use the Noveau drivers but this does work for me because I have a 4k monitor. For the mean time I can use Ubuntu just fine if I boot in the old kernel via grub, but I would like to be able to use and updated kernel eventually with the Nvidia drivers. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-361 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: 970 kernel nvidia update -- Login loop and low resolution after latest kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1603652 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-361 in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
