Public bug reported: I have been using nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 for a while. In January, I tried the 495 drivers, but this resulted in failing to start the GUI when booting: the mouse cursor would appear, but then the screen would clear and the switch to graphics would be attempted again. This would repeat until restarted, so I used recovery mode to test that a) it still happened with that (yes) and b) to go back to the 470 drivers via the root terminal.
For some reason, yesterday xscreensaver had a problem getting the right GLcontext. I noticed that the 510 drivers were available, so used Software & Updates's Additional Drivers to install those. Exactly the same issue as with the 495 drivers: the mouse cursor appears for a second, then disappears, and reappears, and.. until I reboot and go back to 470. I am using Ubuntu MATE 21.10 with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti card. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 21.10 Release: 21.10 ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960621 Title: Nvidia 510 drivers result in failure to start GUI on GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have been using nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 for a while.
