soo the latest update to nvidia-367 (uploaded 17 hours ago) re-surfaced this issue for me. couldn't even get to the login screen, just stuck in a loop with a tty flashing. had the intel driver selected in nvidia- prime. i also can't remove libcuda1-367 now: Removing libcuda1-367

My problem details : http://askubuntu.com/questions/778300/installing- nvidia-graphics-drivers-on-ubuntu-gnome-16-04/780950#780950 I tried Nvidia-364 and Nvidia-367 from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa , It results in login loop when switched to Intel in Nvidia prime. -- You received this bug

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers on a laptop with Optimus

Actually looking at what nvidia-367 does it adds its own nouveau blacklist, so if you have these packages you probably already have one in there. Which I guess is why all the "manual reset from the TTY" guides make sure you do a full purge of nvidia-* before attempting to reboot into nouveau --

blacklisting noveau doesn't sound like a good idea... when anything goes berserk with my graphics driver, I always revert to noveau and things will be come stable (though not perfect) but everything will atleast work... abandoning noveau might leave you in between a rock and a hardplace -- You

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers on a laptop with Optimus

After removing nvidia-364 and installing nvidia-367(.18) from a TTY before rebooting I still cannot get my external monitor to work. When I connect it via HDMI it flickers a lot and unless I unplug the HDMI after the first couple of flickers goes completely black. ubuntu gnome 16.04 Kernel:

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers on a laptop with Optimus

Without a fresh install the 367.18 driver (from ppa:graphics- drivers/ppa) does allow me to boot (no hanging on tty or login loop). But nvidia-settings appear empty (something like http://i.stack.imgur.com/H9EBt.png). I also have a secondary monitor connected over HDMI which is not being detected

I confirm, after a clean install again, everything is working, I think this was an Nvidia driver bug not gnome gdm3, as follows my system configuration: ubuntu gnome 16.04 Kernel: 4.4.0-22-generic nvidia driver: 367.18 installed from ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa my gpu is: GeForce GT 740M running

Ubuntu 16.04 with nvidia drivers 361 and 364 are NOT working here either in a laptop with intel and nvidia GeForce 940M. Using either these drivers and nvidia-prime, its installs and works at first graphical boot, after a few minutes the system freezes and only after a hard reset the drivers

we do have that package on our ISO's so not likely related. Also pretty sure Nvidia PRIME uses the modesetting driver for intel, not the above mentioned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

I hope we need not "apt-get remove --purge". "purge" is not necessary as the issue might be with gdm alone and the next time we choose the nvidia drivers, it'll use the one already downloaded instead of downloading it once again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of
