I'm having a similar issue on Ubuntu 20.04. Currently, every time that I reboot I'm unable to login. I just get a black screen after logging in. I have noticed that if I first delete the contents of .config and .local I'm able to log in. However, obviously, all of my configurations and customizations are then gone. My workaround lately has been to clear those directories, login, logout, copy a backup of those directories to the active directories and then log back in. It's a pain, but for some reason it works. Otherwise, 100% of the time after a reboot I can't access the desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870779 Title: [nvidia] Ubuntu 20.04 beta: Blank/black screen after login on an Nvidia-only desktop (GeForce GTX 1060) Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-440 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have the reproducible effect with Ubuntu 20.04 beta that I'm able to login right after installation, but after a few reboots a black screen is displayed after login. I'm able to switch to a tty and tried to collect information with ubuntu-bug, but I am not sure if that help. I'm happy to provide further information if needed. I reinstalled Ubuntu 20.04 a couple of times, the behaviour is always the same. 19.10 works without any problem.
