Public bug reported: I am testing Ubuntu 20.04. This system has an NVidia GPU, with nvidia- driver 440.64.
With Linux kernel 5.4.0-18, I can login successfully to an X session (default GNOME). With Linux kernel 5.4.0-21, I fail to login to an X session. When I put my password and press Enter to login, the screen blanks, and within a second returns back to the login screen. With Linux kernel 5.4.0-21 and Wayland session, it works and I can login. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 (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/1872123 Title: [20.04] X session fails to start on 440 and kernel 5.4.0-21 (but 5.4.0-18 works) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-440/+bug/1872123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
