Title:
Using nVidia proprietary driver 361.42 yields black screen
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
# 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).
