"I installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop alongside Windows 10 Home on a Dell
Inspiron 15-7559 with an Nvidia 960m card and embeded Intel Skylake
graphics.
When I first installed Ubuntu and attempted to boot, the display would
freeze on the Ubuntu splash screen after entering my disk password.
Strangely, by removing "quiet" and "splash" from my grub configuration
during my next boot, I was able to finally boot to the login screen and
access the desktop. I installed the Intel and Nvidia drivers in the
"Additional Drivers" app and now I can boot to the login screen with no
issues.
Now, when closing the laptop lid to suspend the system, it resumes to a
blank screen and I can't get it to recover from this state without
holding the power button to force shutdown. I verified that it is a
display issue because I was able to ssh into the machine while it had
the blank screen.
I was able to install and boot into the latest (4.8) mainline kernel,
which also gave me a warning/error because of my installed proprietary
drivers. I tried uninstalling the Nvidia drivers to see if Nouveau had
been fixed/improved, but the previous splash screen freeze returned; I
was able to reinstall the drivers by booting into 4.8 recovery mode and
using the Failsafe graphics mode to reinstall the Nvidia drivers.
Any help on getting Nouveau to work nicely with the 960m so I don't have
to run proprietary drivers or solve the suspend issue?"
Now, I sometimes cannot shutdown properly without getting warnings about
cpu soft lockups from gpu-manager. I also get these when I boot without
nvidia drivers with "quiet" and "splash" options removed from my grub
config.
