[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
Note that I'm not suggesting that it be altered mechanically, but rather than a warning be written that it may not be what is wanted (note also that this issue is not about nouveau drivers but NVidia-provided drivers). If I'd seen a warning like that on doing `ubuntu-drivers autoinstall`, this issue would probably not have been filed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
Yes and no... Occasionally someone will have an Nvidia-only desktop (or similar old laptop). Or they may have a very new laptop that the Linux kernel doesn't support properly yet. In such a case, using 'nomodeset' can be a life saver. Especially given the spotty stability and hardware support of the nouveau (modesetting) driver. Sometimes you just have to turn it off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
As an after thought. This could be mitigated by having the nvidia drivers' postinst check for nomodeset in /etc/defaults/grub and warn if it is present.

Great. Though I can't tell what fixed the problem. Do you mean the steps in comment #5? Regardless, if a problem was fixed without requiring any change to the binary packages then the appropriate status is 'Invalid' now. That just means it's not a bug in the assigned package. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you so very much. That has fixed the problem.

[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
Laptops are almost always wired with only the Intel GPU connected to the LCD. If there is an Nvidia GPU then it is not connected to the screen; it only shares rendered frames with the Intel GPU via system memory. This allows the Nvidia GPU to be completely turned off without losing the screen or needing to change drivers. And the Intel driver absolutely requires modesetting to work (hence no 'nomodeset'), because that is the only mode of operation supported by the Intel driver (unless you want 1024x768 and software rendering). Yes, I think Escape is edge triggered only. It's not a modifier key like Shift is. But also yes I only use UEFI so maybe legacy BIOS modes still support Shift. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
re:nomodeset: That's odd unless the drivers on the live usb media are old; nomodeset is definitely needed to not lock up from the live usb on this machine. re:grubmenu: I'm not using UEFI, so AFAIU, shift should be the key (though I tried both). Is it edge triggered? If not, I've had the key held down from the moment the boot process is started at the boot medium option screen of my BIOS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
Your Intel GPU, which usually is the only GPU wired directly to the laptop screen, requires modesetting to be enabled. I recall old versions of the Nvidia driver did not like that, but current versions do. I think "current" includes Ubuntu 18.04. As for the grub menu, yes it might have become harder to trigger in recent years but I am pretty sure Escape still works.

[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
I will give that a go. The nomodeset option was set during istall, presumably because the live usb install media doesn't boot without it. I vaguely recall altering that option at the grub menu, but it was a long day yesterday, so I am not sure (as an aside, why does the grub menu not come up with shift or esc any more - I needed to alter the grub files to make it possible to see the menu at all, which is pretty unfriendly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183 Title: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1830000] Re: NVIDIA driver (390) does not allow progress to login screen
Oh, actually your XorgLog files suggest the problem is just that the
Nvidia driver is not properly installed. And your kernel log seems to
show that you are using a kernel option ('nomodeset') which will prevent
the Intel GPU from driving the screen properly.
To fix these issues, please:
1. Edit /etc/default/grub and remove the word 'nomodeset'.
2. Run: sudo update-grub
3. Reboot.
If the problem is not yet fixed then try:
4. sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-driver-390
5. Reboot again.
