[Bug 1428328] Re: nvidia-prime needs sddm support
After all the recent updates, the problem is solved on my side. I can, once again, use the nVidia drivers on my laptop.

[Bug 1428328] Re: nvidia-prime needs sddm support
I experienced the same issue as Marcin described after updating from 14.10 on my Thinkpad T420. In order to solve it I had to manually remove all nvidia-* packages and install nvidia-346. Not a big deal for anyone somehow comfortable with a shell but probably a show stopper for some other users. Is there any mechanism to force using nvidia-346 when performing a distribution upgrade? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428328 Title: nvidia-prime needs sddm support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1428328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1428328] Re: nvidia-prime needs sddm support
Hi Alberto, with latest updates i was able to run propriery driver with nvidia- prime, but only 346 version. With 340 there are problems like black screen or as users report, we can reach sddm, enter login data but after loading screen we are kicked back to sddm again. One user also reported font issues, that might be somehow related to dpi settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428328 Title: nvidia-prime needs sddm support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1428328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1428328] Re: nvidia-prime needs sddm support
That is probably a bug in the driver.

[Bug 1428328] Re: nvidia-prime needs sddm support
This is no longer a problem in sddm. There seems to be a bug in ubuntu- drivers-common (on in systemd) that prevents gpu-manager from creating the following file: /var/lib/ubuntu-drivers-common/requires_offloading As a result, nvidia-prime, won't see the need of offloading rendering, and you will boot into a black screen. I've filed LP: #1443364 about it. Assuming that you're affected by the same problem, for now you can do the following: sudo systemctl stop sddm sudo systemctl start gpu-manager sudo systemctl start sddm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428328 Title: nvidia-prime needs sddm support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1428328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just installed NVIDIA driver 346.47 from nvidia-346 and from 'prime- select' query shows nvidia. Once I reboot with nvidia select I get a lot of crash reports about plasmashell and krunner.

Same for me: I install nVidia stuff through Driver Manager, and on next boot I am greeted with black screen and lots of crash messages (kdeinit5, plasma, and others).

Aaron Honeycutt, sierdzio - this is differnt bug, you need nomodeset option in kernel options. As a workaround in grub press e and add nomodeset in the line when splash is. Then hit F10 to boot - should work.
