It appears the main error here is: (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to acquire modesetting permission.
which may related to bug 1795637, but probably not. It sounds like a similar problem but in this case the bug would be in gdm3 instead of plymouth. As a workaround you might want to try disabling KMS and let the Nvidia driver operate natively. To do this, 1. Edit /etc/default/grub and add "nomodeset": GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" 2. sudo update-grub 3. Reboot That does roughly the same thing as the recovery mode workaround. ** Package changed: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) => xorg-server (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797198 Title: [nvidia] After login the screen goes black To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1797198/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
