First of all, thank you for your fast response! It is amazing! Yes, there was a question about secure boot, but - just as other users who experienced the same problem - I was not aware about the significant change in the handling of secure boot and the consequences thereof. Formerly Ubuntu worked with secure boot enabled, hence I saw no reason to disable it. There was some explanation about 3rd-Party-modules on that dialog, yes, but because I do not use any other sources other than those provided by Ubuntu, I didn't feel concerned. Maybe the German translation is even more misleading (however I do not recall the exact wording of the dialog on upgrade), because the section in the control panel is called "Zusätzlich Treiber" and it mentions "Proprietäre Treiber" in the text in the control panel, but not 3rd Party Software, what I think was the term used on the upgrade dialog (though I am not quite sure about that). And since everything worked when I selected the older Kernel 4.2.0-35 I did not think about this at all any longer :-( and it took quite a while to figure out the reason of the problem...
If those modules get signed automatically in the future, this will help a lot... Maybe meanwhile the Dialog on Upgrade could be made a little bit more clear about the problems and that those using nvidia drivers will not be able to log in after upgrade? I uninstalled nvidia, booted with secure boot enabled and installed nvidia again (using the control panel -> "Zusätzliche Treiber" = "additional drivers"), but there was no message about secure boot there. After reboot I couldn't log in again as expected. For me it is ok now that I know the reason. But I think a lot of people might run into severe troubles... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574732 Title: Regression: Kernel Update in 16.04 from last days renders nvidia driver unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/shim/+bug/1574732/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
