same issue here: nvidia module builds fine, but isn't loaded at startup, so gdm cannot be started.
i added nvidia to /etc/modules in order to load the nvidia module at startup ... it worries me, that this bug is tagged as `invalid', since it `breaks' the setup for many people, who may not have the experience of 10 years linux system administration -- nvidia restricted drivers 170 and 185 module dont get loaded by kernel and cause gdm not to load https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436037 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
