[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1639180] Re: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132
> @eggert-cs, have you tried the "ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa" PPA? No, sorry, I just followed the recipe in #20 to downgrade from 304.132 to 304.131, plus the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/local-nvidia-quirks as described in #18 to make sure 304.132 is not reinstalled as part of an upgrade. This desktop is being used by others for their daily work, so I'm conservative about making changes to it. Is there a reliable recipe for trying out ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa for a little bit and then reverting to what I have now? -- 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
I am still observing the problem on my Ubuntu 16.04.1 x86 desktop, which has C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2) graphics. I assume this is because 304.134 has not yet been backported to 16.04.1 LTS. I hope the bug is fixed soon, as it's a little disconcerting that the latest stable Ubuntu release does not work on my non-bleeding-edge desktop. (Nouveau crashes too often to be useful, and the more up-to-date proprietary driver has so many artifacts on the screen that it is unusable.) For now, I have worked around the problem by using the recipe in #20 to go back to 304.131-0ubuntu3. -- 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

I also observed the problem on my desktop running Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x86. lspci | grep VGA reports "02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2)". I am attaching /var/log/Xorg.1.log, which says "NVIDIA GPU GeForce 8300 (C77) at PCI:2:0:0 (GPU-0)". This system worked fine with the previous 304xx package. I have worked around the problem by dropping 304xx and using Nouveau. ** Attachment added: "Xorg log file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx/+bug/1639180/+attachment/4773287/+files/Xorg.1.log -- 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 747717] Re: 11.04 - opening too many windows causes new windows to render blank white
The problem occurs for me too, on a Sun Ultra 20 M2 with NVIDIA Quadro NVS 285 graphics, running Linux x86 (not x86-64). Downgrading to the 173 version did not help. I worked around the problem by switching to the nouveau driver, and dumping Unity (Unity 2D does not work well at all) in favor of the traditional Gnome desktop. The entire experience was unpleasant enough that on another machine, which uses GeForce 8300, I am sticking with Ubuntu 10.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/747717 Title: 11.04 - opening too many windows causes new windows to render blank white ___ 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
