My first attempt at reproducing this bug has failed. I am using an Nvidia Quadro K620 card in a desktop where I usually just use the integrated Intel graphics. And I have installed nvidia-375 375.66-0ubuntu1. The result is that Ubuntu 17.10 boots perfectly. VTs are using efifb. GDM and gnome-shell both start using Xorg automatically and the Wayland options have been hidden.
Perhaps I would need to test a newer card that's more difficult for software support? Or perhaps something got fixed? @amri could you please remove 'nomodeset', enable integrated graphics in your BIOS, reboot and see if the problem persists? ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705369 Title: Ubuntu 17.10 boots to black screen when using Nvidia drivers (on a desktop with an Intel GPU) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1705369/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
