Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04
nvidia-361: Installed: 361.42-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 361.42-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 361.42-0ubuntu2 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/restricted amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status After installing 16.04 I also added a new video card- an NVIDIA GTX 960. The system worked fine (for a few days to a week) until I switch to the NVIDIA binary driver (version 361.42 from nvidia-361). The graphics (specifically panning between workspaces) looked better and videos play in chrome. However, I eventually noticed a few other (more critical) things did not work: * Nautilus would not open * Chrome remote desktop would not accept connections * Virtual consoles show a single large cursor but nothing else. I tried reinstalling nautilus and chrome-remote-desktop. I noticed a bug from years ago (#1470862) where an ATI graphics driver caused virtual console issues so I switched the GTX 960 driver back to Nouveau and the three problems immediately went away. I'm not sure that the problem isn't caused by the way the NVIDIA driver is configured ** Affects: sddm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584939 Title: NVIDIA binary driver corrupts X Session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1584939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
