Hmm. I have another computer that is more successful with nvidia-340 in Xubuntu 20.04. When I compare to Xorg.0.log files, I see differences after line
"(II) systemd-logind: logind integration requires -keeptty and -keeptty was not provided, disabling logind integration". The successful one has "[ 77.338] (II) xfree86: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0) [ 77.341] (**) OutputClass "nvidia" ModulePath extended to "/usr/lib/nvidia-340/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules" In the working system there doesn't seem to be a config file: "nvidia-xconfig -t" prints "WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file. Unable to locate/open XConfig file." (with or without run as superuser) so I wonder why this failing one should have? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946987 Title: Nvidia 340 Xorg driver is installed but not loaded Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried both nouveau and nvidia-340 drivers.
