Public bug reported: # Context
Selecting nvidia driver using software-properties-gtk. Install goes ok. No longer observing bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-361/+bug/1553554 Hardware is Asus n551jk laptop. nvidia driver worked on same hardware with Ubuntu 14.04. # Expected Correct display with better performance and 3D support. # Observed. No immediate effect, although GUI says driver is used. On next boot, no graphical login was observed. Screen was just black. Normal boot again yields same result. Waiting half an hour did not yield any more result. I logged in on a text console and ran "ubuntu-bug" to generate a bug report that I kept until I had a working X again. Booting in rescue mode I finally managed to get to a X session (which is not the usual nouveau setup, for example xbacklight does not work, full brightness hurts my eyes, output is no longer named "eDP1" but "default"). # Additional information Will try to switch to proprietary driver 340.96 as suggested by software-properties-gtk. I guess all other needed information is included in bug report (generated by ubuntu-bug).
