I hadn't mention that I've been using lightdm. After switching to GDM
the issue was resolved.
** Description changed:
Environment:
- OS - Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, DE - GNOME Shell 3.20.4, gnome-screensaver 3.6.1
+ OS - Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, DE - GNOME Shell 3.20.4, lightdm, gnome-screensaver
3.6.1
Public bug reported:
Environment:
OS - Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, DE - GNOME Shell 3.20.4, gnome-screensaver 3.6.1
Prerequisites:
- say, you have 2 language layouts installed
- their layouts/character tables are completely different, so there is no
chance you can type your password correctly using
@ajat-pandita I wouldn't say that #15/#18 is a confirmed workaround. It's a
workaround for SOME people. I tried both approaches and some other (even tried
3.18 kernel). Problem still persist for my hardware (Intel + GT750). Seems like
something was broken with nvidia drivers since the moment
The same problem is here. After an update (approx. 26-27 Jan) to
3.13.0-43 (45 now) there is no way to reboot in nvidia - mode. Tried
different drivers version (331 to 346) and their 'updates' variations.
With any nvidia drivers installed i'm getting black screen instead of
ligthdm invitation.
