Also remove "nomodeset" and "splash" from your config (the splash might 
actually be the troublemaker, turning off kms globally is neither required nor a good idea)


This has nothing to do with KDE (you deleted your configs for no reason) and this is a 
developer mailing list, end-user help (even completely off topic) is usually provided on 
forum.kde.org. Please head over there for further assistance and ensure to provide 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of "dmesg"

Cheers,

Hello,

This is very likely related to the fact that the NVIDIA driver does not
support xorg 1.8. If you can try downgrading your X11 install. NVIDIA only
recently updated their driver and it may take some time to reach your
distributions repository.

Kubuntu 15.04 Graphics Driver Issue

[gokul krishna]

Hi,

I started using Kubuntu 15.04 around five months back and recently I 
encountered a problem when I updated my graphics driver[1]. Currently I’ve 
Nvidia 860M Graphics driver in my Lenovo Y50-70 laptop. I tried [2] and even 
tried updating and upgrading the whole system by logging in through tty1 using 
' sudo apt-get update/upgrade'  using the LAN cable but then it didn’t work. 
The screen says blank for a long time and after that I've to forcefully turn it 
off. I then tried the following commands in tty1- 
rm -r ~/.kde
rm -r ~/.cache
rm -r ~/.config/plasmarc and then 
kbuildsycoca5

Then I tried editing the boot up option as in one of the links which was 
editing the ‘/etc/default/grub’ file and changed the 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash nomodeset” and then saved the file and 
the ran ’sudo update-grub’ but still it turned out to be unsuccessful.  

So the next option which I found was reinstalling the whole version but then 
it’d cost me a lot since I’m working on it.
