In fact, booting the older kernel version (4.4.0-18-generic), everything runs fine: To test, i reinstalled the nvidia-drivers using ubuntu-drivers autoinstall I then build the kernel modules for all kernels using this tip from askubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/questions/53364/command-to-rebuild-all- dkms-modules-for-all-installed-kernels) ls /var/lib/initramfs-tools | sudo xargs -n1 /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start The i rebooted and selected the Kernel 4.4.0-18 from the Advanced Boot Menu in Grub. This fixes my problems. ** Summary changed: - Regression: Update in 16.04 from last days renders nvidia driver unusable + Regression: Kernel Update in 16.04 from last days renders nvidia driver unusable ** Also affects: livepatch-linux-4.4.0-21.37-generic-2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574732 Title: Regression: Kernel Update in 16.04 from last days renders nvidia driver unusable Status in livepatch-linux-4.4.0-21.37-generic-2 package in Ubuntu: New Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am running Ubuntu 16.04 since at least four months, always with the nvidia proprietary drivers (installed from the repository). I used nvidia-361 for a while with no issues (and i need it for steam gaming). However, an update installed on my machine yesterday breaks the nvidia drivers. I tried purging the driver, rebooting and reinstalling and i tried a newer version for the ubuntu-drivers ppa. Nothing helps: With the nvidia driver installed, i get a low- resolution login screen, but cannot login due to missing 3d acceleration. Running on nouveau works fine. This seems very strange to since everything worked until this afternoon. Yesterday, i was happily playing games on steam, installed some updates and now, my graphics are broken. $ lspci | grep NVIDIA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fbc (rev a1) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Mon Apr 25 17:45:12 2016 DistUpgraded: 2016-03-11 21:34:38,175 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bbswitch, 0.8, 4.4.0-21-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.18, 4.4.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.18, 4.4.0-21-generic, x86_64: installed EcryptfsInUse: Yes ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750] [10de:1381] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Palit Microsystems Inc.
