Title: MATE Desktop session fails to start with NVIDIA 495 & 510 drivers Status in marco package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in metacity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in marco source package in Focal: In Progress Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in marco source package in Impish: In Progress Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 source package in Impish: Confirmed Status in marco source package in Jammy: Fix Released Status in metacity source package in Jammy: Confirmed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 source package in Jammy: Confirmed Bug description: I have been using nvidia-graphics-drivers-470 for a while. In January, I tried the 495 drivers, but this resulted in failing to start the GUI when booting: the mouse cursor would appear, but then the screen would clear and the switch to graphics would be attempted again. This would repeat until restarted, so I used recovery mode to test that a) it still happened with that (yes) and b) to go back to the 470 drivers via the root terminal. For some reason, yesterday xscreensaver had a problem getting the right GLcontext. I noticed that the 510 drivers were available, so used Software & Updates's Additional Drivers to install those. Exactly the same issue as with the 495 drivers: the mouse cursor appears for a second, then disappears, and reappears, and.. until I reboot and go back to 470. I am using Ubuntu MATE 21.10 with a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti card. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 21.10 Release: 21.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/marco/+bug/1960621/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
