Test Case --------- If you don't have a system with nvidia hardware to upgrade this is a bit convoluted but still works. 1) Run do-release-upgrade (use -d if upgrading to disco) 2) Cancel the upgrade 3) Create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with a Device section listed in the original description using the nvidia driver. 4) cd to /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-$TEMPNAME 5) run ./$target-release-name --frontend DistUpgradeViewText 6) Observe the Driver line is commented out of xorg.conf When testing the release-upgrader from -proposed you'll need to use the -p switch to get the right tarball. Additionally, you'll want to add a step 4.5 where you modify xorg_fix_proprietary.py so nvidia defaults to True instead of False (line 106) this'll simulate the nvidia driver being loaded. Regression Potential -------------------- This just changes how xorg_fix_proprietary check for nvidia being in use and it only affects people who have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf so the impact of a regression is rather small. Additionally, the logic used to determine if nvidia in use is the same logic used in the apport package hook for all xorg packages so is well tested. Original Description -------------------- I upgraded my system from 17.10 to 18.04 Bionic Beaver via do-release-upgrade. After the installation had finished, Xorg wouldn't start. I later found out that this was because the installation routine had commented out the nvidia display driver I used in the xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "nvidia" # Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:10@0:0:0" Option "ConstrainCursor" "off" EndSection As the installtion routine backuped my xorg.conf I could verify that the line hadn't been commented out before upgrading. Removing the "#" solved the problem.
