More details: - this is on Ubuntu 12.04 - the module does load into the kernel - lightdm does present a login screen - nvidia-340 doesn't work on this system - compiz fails to start (from ~/.xsession-errors): gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly - no amount of moving ~/.compiz* ~/.nv* ~/.cache/compiz* ~/.config/compiz* aside made a difference
The only thing that worked was grabbing the previous version from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 and apt-pinning it like so: /etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia.pref Package: nvidia-304 Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: nvidia-current Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Pin-Priority: 1001 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' now does not upgrade to the problematic version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639180 Title: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS NVIDIA driver: - nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 - update to version 304.132 dpkg.log: upgrade nvidia-304-updates:amd64 304.131-0ubuntu3 304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 - reboot - lightdm login screen - login - a few seconds some flickering - and the lightdm login screen appears again It is not possible to login.
