Public bug reported:
Fresh ubuntu 20.04 machine with a gtx 1080.
Configured to boot to commandline with sudo systemctl set-default multi-
user.target
Proprietary driver nvidia 440 installed with 'ubuntu-driver install'.
Rebooted.
Logged in, ran startx.
Startx ran fine.
Configured system to log in automatically by creating
/etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf
containing
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin buildbot --noclear %I 38400 linux
[Unit]
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
Installed lwm and xterm, created a simple .xinitrc that just runs xterm
and lwm:
/usr/bin/xterm -geometry 80x25+0-0 &
exec lwm
In .profile, added lines at the end to run startx if at console:
case `tty` in
/dev/tty1) startx;;
esac
Rebooted.
Startx failed with
(EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for
all framebuffer devices
Running startx again manually worked fine.
Adding a second startx after the first one in .profile also worked fine.
