Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
nvidia-361:
Installed: 361.42-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 361.42-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 361.42-0ubuntu2 500

After installing 16.04 I also added a new video card- an NVIDIA GTX 960. The
system worked fine (for a few days to a week) until I switch to the NVIDIA
binary driver (version 361.42 from nvidia-361). The graphics (specifically
panning between workspaces) looked better and videos play in chrome. However, I
eventually noticed a few other (more critical) things did not work:
* Nautilus would not open
* Chrome remote desktop would not accept connections
* Virtual consoles show a single large cursor but nothing else.
I tried reinstalling nautilus and chrome-remote-desktop. I noticed a bug
from years ago (#1470862) where an ATI graphics driver caused virtual
console issues so I switched the GTX 960 driver back to Nouveau and the
three problems immediately went away.
I'm not sure that the problem isn't caused by the way the NVIDIA driver
is configured
