This is an issue with the nvidia driver (in my case 387.12) not supporting the low latency kernel. during nvidia DKMS compilation an error is generated making the module compile fail. root# cat /var/crash/nvidia-378.0.crash ProblemType: Package DKMSKernelVersion: 4.13.0-16-lowlatency Date: Sun Nov 19 22:49:50 2017 Package: nvidia-378 378.13-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.3 PackageVersion: 378.13-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.3 SourcePackage: nvidia-graphics-drivers-378 Title: nvidia-378 378.13-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.3: nvidia-378 kernel module failed to build ``` CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-378/378.13/build/nvidia/nv-cray.o In file included from /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-378/378.13/build/nvidia/nv-dma.c:15:0: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-378/378.13/build/common/inc/nv-linux.h:227:2: error: #error "This driver requires the ability to change memory types!" #error "This driver requires the ability to change memory types!" ^~~~~ ``` I suspect we need the newer dkms driver 387.22? according to arch linux: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/nvidia -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725169 Title: Black Screen after Upgrade from Kubuntu 17.04 to 17.10 Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just upgraded Kubuntu from 17.04 to 17.10 on two machines with the same Result: After reboot, the first kernel in grub was 'linux-image-4.13.0-16-lowlatency'. This kernel does not work with the nvidia-grafic-card and lead to a black screen. After purging this kernel in a tty-session it booted up smothely. I think this can help many others.
