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.
