[Bug 1808658] Re: display goes blank and system hangs after (and sometimes before) gdm3 login with nvidia-driver-390 and a gtx 970m
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: After entering username and password, gnome3 never loads, and instead you are stuck on a blank screen. Switching tty doesn't work. Sometimes gdm3 doesn't even load and the blank screen happens before you can try to log in. Without a workaround, you are forced to boot into recovery mode and purge nvidia, reverting back to nouveau. At first glance, this seems similar to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers-390/+bug/1752053/+index?comments=all However, none of the solutions listed there work and the workaround is to use lightdm instead of gdm3: sudo apt install lightdm If it doesn't ask you to set the default display manager, then do this after, and set lightdm as the default when prompted: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 After that, the system will boot and let you log in normally. This problem is happening on a Clevo laptop without Optimus, with a dedicated nvidia gtx 970m device, after installing any of the modern nvidia drivers from version 390 onward, from the official repo, from the graphics PPA, and I presume also the official driver from the nvidia site. I tested on both Ubuntu 18.04.1 + updates, and Ubuntu 18.10 + updates.
