Public bug reported:
I have an Acer V3-772G laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce 760M video adapter
that is combined with a built-in Intel HD Graphics 4600 using the
Optimus technology.
I am running Ubuntu Saucy with the latest updates from the official
repos (nothing like xorg-edgers or swat):
$ lsb_release -rd
Description:Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch)
Release: 13.10
What happens is the following:
I boot the laptop into GRUB using WIndows 8 troubleshooting mode and choosing
Ubuntu's bootloader as a boot device.
GRUB loads successfully, I choose the first menu item, that is, Ubuntu without
any additional options.
After that the screen turns black, I have to use the laptop brightness
controls to turn the brightness up and enter a password for the hard
drive (I use partition encryption). After that the login screen appears
in proper resolution, the login sound plays and I am able to select a
wireless network, choose between guest, remote and local login.
When I login using my local user, the screen turns black, the mouse
disappears and nothing happens. If I move the mouse, it appears once
again, but the system doesn't react to any clicks.
I can run applications though, if I login via a console using
Ctrl+Alt+F1 and running programs like:
DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-terminal
The programs are opened on the black screen without any window borders,
but they can be moved with a mouse.
When I run nvidia-settings this way, it issues the following message:
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X
configuration file (just run `nvidia xconfig` as root), and restart the
X server.
I have tried doing that, but the only thing that changes is that the
screen resolution drops to something around 800x600.
