Public bug reported: I have had this bug for a while now but only figured out the fix recently. Basically after each new kernel update in Ubuntu Gnome 17.04, when starting the computer, GDM doesn't start. I have to go to a terminal using Ctrl - Alt - F2 and launch a
"sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-375" and then "sudo service gdm3 restart" And that's how I get my desktop back. This has been happening regularly at least since I upgrade to 17.04 (maybe even since 16.10). I think it might be occuring in 16.04 LTS as well as I have a colleague who's experienced something similar.
