> @eggert-cs, have you tried the "ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa" PPA?
No, sorry, I just followed the recipe in #20 to downgrade from 304.132 to 304.131, plus the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/local-nvidia-quirks as described in #18 to make sure 304.132 is not reinstalled as part of an upgrade. This desktop is being used by others for their daily work, so I'm conservative about making changes to it. Is there a reliable recipe for trying out ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa for a little bit and then reverting to what I have now? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639180 Title: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132 Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS NVIDIA driver: - nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 - update to version 304.132 dpkg.log: upgrade nvidia-304-updates:amd64 304.131-0ubuntu3 304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 - reboot - lightdm login screen - login - a few seconds some flickering - and the lightdm login screen appears again It is not possible to login.
