Title:
The bundled nvidia-361 driver in Mint 18 crashes on GTX 980 Ti
Status in Linux Mint:
Fix Released
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
STR:
1. On a system with GTX 980 Ti graphics card (Asus Strix GTX 980 TI DC3OC to
be exact), perform a clean install of Linux Mint 18.
2. Open up 'Update Manager' tool
3. Choose 'Optimize stability and security'
4. Choose 'Install Updates' at the top
5. After installations have finished, reboot the computer
6. Open up Update Manager again.
7. Install the two remaining packages:
'linux 4.4.0-34.53'
'linux-kernel 4.4.0-34.53'
8. After installation, reboot the computer
At this point, the system is still running in software rendering mode.
9. Go to Driver Manager
10. Change the GPU driver from the active "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
(open-source)" to the only offered option "nvidia-361 (recommended)" and choose
Apply Changes
11. Restart the computer as suggested by the Driver Manager
Observed:
When the desktop boots back up, it shows a dialog "Cinnamon just
crashed. You are currently running in Fallback Mode. Do you want to
restart Cinnamon?"
Choosing Yes will deterministically crash again.
Continuing the STR:
12. In terminal, type
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
and open Driver Manager again. More driver options have appeared.
Observed:
Trying out the driver nvidia-367 still crashes. However the driver
nvidia-358 looks like a good version and choosing that works ok
without crashing.
