I just installed 'linux 3.18.0 rc7' : - After regular boot, graphical login systematically fails. - After a boot in 'recovery mode' (which includes the 'nomodeset' parameter), graphical login systematically succeeds, but Cinnamon complains that the graphical driver lacks support for hardware

Lot of thanks to Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch) for his explanations and his patience with me. After uninstallation of the 'nvidia-331-updates' package, the installation of linux- image-3.18.0-031800rc6-generic_3.18.0-031800rc6.201411231935_amd64.deb succeeded (except for the 'wl' driver,

Etienne URBAH, as is verified by actually opening up the mainline kernel files with Archive Manager (ex. /lib/modules/3.18.0-031800rc6-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/ ) testing to nouveau does not require the extra file. The extra file is for modules built outside the mainline kernel
