[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1639180] Re: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132
Well… Switching to another window manager doesn't solve the “any 3D/GLX app would crash” issue… In my case I would have preferred to use the nouveau driver from the beginning, except that for ancient cards like the 6150SE it makes the whole system freeze after only a few minutes… Finally, I was so p*ssed off about this bug and the fact that I have to tune this or that after some security update, that I looked back into this nouveau driver bug for 2 days and finally found a way to use it without patching/installing anything or totally disabling all graphic accelerations. (options nouveau config="PMPEG=0" => works for me/my card) So now that I have returned to The open and happy world and am not concerned with this bug anymore.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1639180] Re: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132
FYI, after a kernel upgrade the NVIDIA driver was unusable again. This time was because of the DKMS mechanism which, for whatever reason I didn't investigate yet (could it be because of the apt-pinning??), didn't success to build and install the nvidia_304.ko module for the new kernel. If that happens to you, the solution is to run these commands: dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-304 service lightdm restart (no need to reboot) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639180 Title: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1639180/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1639180] Re: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132
In my case I have a GeForce 6150SE so I really need this 304.131 and can't higher version like 340.xx. For people needing to downgrade, this is one (among others) correct way to do so with Ubuntu 16.04: - first create a file named /etc/apt/preferences.d/local-nvidia-quirks with the following content: Explanation: block this specifique update because of OpenGL problem with 304.132 Package: nvidia-304 Pin: version 304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 Pin-Priority: -10 Explanation: block this specifique update because of OpenGL problem with 304.132 Package: nvidia-opencl-icd-304 Pin: version 304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 Pin-Priority: -10 - then reinstall the working old packages (they are still available in the repository): sudo apt install nvidia-304=304.131-0ubuntu3 nvidia-opencl- icd-304=304.131-0ubuntu3 - finally, reboot your computer (because it also affects the initrd boot image) The previous way only blocks the currently known not working version, without blocking future updates. If you want a way to stay at the known working version without further updates, here is the content you should use for your /etc/apt/preferences.d/local-nvidia-quirks: Explanation: do not use any other version than this one, ever (priority 1001 will ensure that) Package: nvidia-304 Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu3 Pin-Priority: 1001 Explanation: do not use any other version than this one, ever (priority 1001 will ensure that) Package: nvidia-opencl-icd-304 Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu3 Pin-Priority: 1001 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639180 Title: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1639180/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1639180] Re: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132
Since this problem greatly affects usability (no graphic login anymore), may be it's worth (in the users' point of view) creating a “fake version” security-upgrade like "304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2+really304.131" to fill the gap while waiting for Nvidia to provide a fix for 304.132, IMHO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639180 Title: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1639180/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

A debdiff between the packages shows the difference is mainly a version upgrade from 304.131 to 304.132. And it seems a lot of people are experiencing problems with version 304.132, cf https://devtalk.nvidia.com/search/more/sitecommentsearch/304.132/ A specific thread retained my attention: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/968892/linux/geforce-7300le- with-304-132-glxinfo-fails-now-with-quot-x-error-of-failed-request- badvalue-quot-/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639180 Title: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1639180/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
