[shantanu saha]

I have tested with nvidia-384 and 387, issue is not fixed with gdm3.
Lightdm works fine.

I have the same symptoms as this bug with 17.04 and the new 375.82

As someone who confirmed this bug really early on, and has suffered from
it for ages i'm here to say thanks for the fix!

I have two systems that were suffering from the problem, on one a
yakkety -> zesty upgrade fixed the issue and on another a new zesty
install also did not experience the problem*

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Kevin Norman]

Can confirm that without xserver-xorg-legacy my system will refuse to
boot when using GDM. It will simply sit at a black screen, never
allowing me to log in. With the package installed, GDM seems to work
correctly.

Another interesting nugget of information is my initial fix was to simply use 
lightdm. This introduces another bug whereby on login the display will briefly 
(for around 5 seconds) show either:
a) Pink/white garbled mess
b) If I've been logged in recently, what I had on my screen previously. This is 
even the case if I am booted into another operating system like Windows and 
then reboot into Ubuntu GNOME. 

I am using a Nvidia 660ti (GK104) with the Nvidia drivers (375.39).

If I can provide any helpful information to the developers, please let
me know. I am happy to dump whatever logs are necessary.

Bruce, it's not really Fixed in Xenial yet. If you take Ubuntu GNOME and
install the Nvidia proprietary drivers, your computer might fail to show
the login screen the next time you reboot. Yes, you can manually install
the missing package but it needs to be handled automatically. (It's
installed by the 304 and 340 packages but not newer ones.)

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Bruce Pieterse]

Seems to be working OK now with nvidia-367 and xserver-xorg-legacy:

nvidia-367:

Perhaps Xenial milestone can be updated to Fix Released.

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Tim]

on my laptop (zesty w/ intel) without -legacy, Xorg runs as my user
account. once I install legacy it runs as root. I tried adding
needs_root_rights=auto to Xwrapper.config but its still running as root.

So perhaps the autodetection is broken for some reason.

[Jeremy Bicha]

Tim, can you look into this more?

If I understand the manpage correctly, xserver-xorg-legacy should still
do the right thing where KMS is available.

https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/xserver-xorg-legacy/Xorg.wrap

I had the pending SRUs rejected from the unapproved queue for now.

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Tim]

It has been used by default since 16.04 and is supported by all major
open drivers including vbox/vmware, so its rather widespread.

Obviously having Xorg run as the user account instead of root is big win
for avoiding security issues within Xorg. It wouldnt hurt to have some
sort of description about the security risks in xserver-xorg-legacy.

Adding -legacy  temporarily is probably ok, but get it off the images
again before release.

rootless X is somewhat orthoganal to wayland support in respect to EGL
Streams, but I would assume the KMS modesetting support required for
Xorg must be there if wayland has got that far.

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Jeremy Bicha]

Tim, thanks for commenting.

How common is root-less Xorg?

Should there be a warning in xserver-xorg-legacy's description that it
can break things?

Would having gnome-shell recommend xserver-xorg-legacy be ok? It may
take Alberto some time to update all those packages so I was hoping for
a faster, more minimal fix here.

I don't know much about Nvidia. Apparently, Nvidia on Wayland on Ubuntu
17.04's GNOME 3.24 mostly works now (LP: #164).

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Tim]

>> The most minimal fix here for 16.04 LTS and 16.10 is to just have
gnome-shell depend on xserver-xorg-legacy. Updating all the nvidia-*
packages in Ubuntu and the PPAs would be a lot more trouble; although
that would still be a good idea so that this gnome-shell dependency
could be dropped in future Ubuntu releases.

That seems like a bad idea to me, you will break root-less Xorg for all
other users that don't even use nvidia drivers. The dependency needs to
come from the nvidia driver packages even if it is a Pain to update all
those.

That said what is the current state of Nvidia KMS implementation? I
would have though recent nvidia drivers would support root-less xorg,
but havent had a chance to play with any nvidia hardware since last
winter.

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Stein Erik Svendheim]

Same here. #100 fixed it.

apt install xserver-xorg-legacy did the trick. I am using nvida-378 from
the graphics PPA.

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[RobertFM]

Thanks to #100 I got GDM working again.

I just upgraded to nvidia-378 and re-installed xserver-xorg-legacy and
finally got GDM working again.

I'll keep lightdm installed just in case it all stops working again.

I don't know/remember if this happend while I was fiddling around
getting GDM to work. But in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf I had the following
line active and it was running havok with GDM opening in different tty
every boot an delaying boot time. So make sure to comment out the
following line:

#AutomaticLoginEnable=True

[Žygimantas Beručka]

Well, I just did discovered something by accident. I *DID* manage to
start GDM3 just by executing 'gdm3' as *root* from a TTY. I am now able
to login just fine and GNOME works fine.

Launching GDM as a service (systemctl) does not work, though. Why is
this so? And what can I do to resolve the issue?

[Bug 1559576] Re: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers

[Žygimantas Beručka]

Similarly to comment #74, I have exactly the same symptoms on a Samsung
laptop with Intel HD4000 graphics (i.e. *no* nVidia or any other video
card is/was present). Moreover, it's a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.10. It
is also of note that I've never had this issue before on the same
machine with any of previous versions of Ubuntu Gnome, including 16.04
LTS with gnome3 ppa enabled.

On 16.10, I just cannot properly start GDM3 at all. It shows the same
black/dark grey background as has been mentioned and nothing else is
going on. Also, going to TTY1 does not work -- one is unable to do
anything on it; even CTRL-C does not work. Switching to TTY2, however,
works fine. I've looked at various log files, but to be honest, I don't
see any clues indicating what's the problem and where the process gets
stuck.

It works just fine with LightDM, though.

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

[René]

Hello, I had the same problem, but I could solved my case:
Gigabyte Notebook with hybrid Intel + Nvidia GTX 765M card with PRIME not 
working with (K)Ubuntu 16.04 with any version of the proprietary NVIDIA driver. 
When prime-select switched to nvidia gives a black screen, set to intel worked. 
NVidia proprietary driver prime-select set to nvidia worked on (K)Ubuntu 14.04 
before.

The solution that worked for me (with latest stable driver 367.57, from
graphics ppa, but should work with every driver) was to change
xorg.conf!

The version of Xorg shipped with (K)Ubuntu 16.04 is 1.18.4, where the BusID 
format in xorg.conf was slightly changed in Xorg >= 1.17.2.
I changed `BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0"` on the nvidia card to `BusID "PCI:1::0:0"` and 
similar process on the intel section and also added the LoadModule setting. 
Like described in an answer to a post on askubuntu. see: 
http://askubuntu.com/a/776527

I guess the broken id works on PRIME set to intel because autodetection
in single-intel mode is much better then the Nvidia PRIME stuff.

After restart it worked, but something changed my xorg.conf again to
have invalid data. I'm now experimenting with deactivating gpu-manager
by commenting all lines in /etc/init/gpu-manager.conf (see
https://vxlabs.com/2015/02/05/solving-the-ubuntu-14-04-nvidia-346
-nvidia-prime-black-screen-issue/ ) and setting "chattr +i" for
xorg.conf.

and see ArchWiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA_Optimus#Using_nvidia

Hope this solves your problems with NVidia PRIME too!

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

[Roger]

Bug #1632322 - about computers with _only_ an NVIDIA card refusing to
boot with proprietary drivers, because of GDM3 - was declared a
duplicate of this bug yesterday and further discussion was to be
conducted here. Hence my posting here to point out that bug #1632322 is
_not_ a duplicate.

Bug #1632322 is about GDM3 as such not playing nice with NVIDIA. It has
nothing to with Optimus. And it doesn't concern "hybrid (prime)
systems", which is the bug referenced in the release notes on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME#Known_Bugs.

So could bug #1632322 be reopened, please? And possibly even looked at
before release?

This happens to me on a desktop with Nvidia GTX 750 ti. Installing 16.10
works until the driver is installed and then it is no longer bootable.
The solution is to use the older driver. You are offered 361.42 (which
causes the problem) but the other one 340.96 works fine.

Incidentally Ubuntu 16.10 on another ssd uses 361.42 which is also fine

Some adds, running Yakkety with official 367.44 driver :
* running Intel, select Nvidia, logout/login, login loop
* running Nvidia, select Intel, logout/login, login loop
* running A, select B, restart, Gnome starts normally

Maybe that some progress in my previous message were due to non-
unloading Nvidia driver (which was a bug) when using Intel, but I really
don't know if it is related.

Add me to the users for whom lightdm worked.

gdm runs, appears and on shutdown (service gdm stop) appears to be doing
some sort of a loop of the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon... the daemon
leaves a screen message that is hidden until the stop breaks in on it.

The system is an older ASUS P5G41MLX with a core-duo quad and 16 GB of
ram.

Reinstalling NVIDA, GDM, Installing intel micro-code and repeated
restarts/resets did not get past this last step on the screen

Sep  3 08:13:42 occam systemd[1]: Starting User Manager for UID 118...
Sep  3 08:13:42 occam systemd[1]: Started Session c1 of user gdm.

This is by observation the last step prior to presenting the gdm user
menus.

I am including the kernel log for the machine.  This doesn't clearly
identify the problem but it does show several logs that cannot be
created.  I have the lightdm working and am loath to break it all again
to collect those logs but I am going to create them and make them
writable.

The gdm issue seems not to be


An older NVIDIA card had no problem but hadn't had the NVIDIA drivers
installed. The new card is a 1060.

The GDM process IS running there.

Indeed, I get the same experience with Yakkety.
"Kinda funky" means, running my system, that Nvidia boots fine but Intel can 
lead to a login loop (not reproduced) and surely to a Xorg crash (but only 
Apport makes me knowing that there is one, except maybe the deactivation of 
some Gnome shell's extensions).

[Fred Zelastian]

Tried to install Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.1 with NVIDIA Driver 367.xx using
the GDM display manager yesterday and resulted in black screen at login.

Did the same today with the newly released NVIDIA Driver 370.23 (beta, I
think) and everything is actually working fine - no black screens, but
the login seemed kinda funky. Although there don't appear to be any
technical issues so far, I'm not entirely sure if that NVIDIA Driver
build is stable. Not sure if it's just affecting me either, but thought
I'd throw that comment in there.

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

[Clemens Gersbacher]

Hello,

I experienced the same problem on my new HP Pavillion 15 with nvidia
950M graphic card. After switching to nvidia driver the system boots
into a black screen. So I started playing around a little...

I've installed Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.01 and it ran fine with nouveau driver -> 
system worked.
Switched to nvidia driver -> black screen.

Installed Ubuntu 16.04.01 with unity running nouveau -> system worked.
Switched to nvidia driver -> system still worked!
Installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop with gdm3 -> black screen.

Installed Ubuntu 16.04.01 again.
Switched to nvidia driver -> worked fine.
Installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop with lightdm -> worked! :)

[Martin Höger]

Very similar for me with Acer V 15 Nitro with NVIDIA GTX 960M. When a
display is plugged via HDMI black screen is present. When the GPU is set
in prime settings (nvidia-settings) to Intel, everything works. Lightdm
didn't help.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, driver 367.27, Ubuntu 4.4.0-28.47-generic 4.4.13

[Simon Bursten]

I had the same issue on my Asus N552VX laptop. Installing 367.27 from
nvidia-367 worked fine after running prime-select intel but prime-select
nvidia would lead to the login loop issue people have noted here. Once
logged in via the intel graphics option nvidia-settings wouldn't load.

nvidia-xconfig
dpkg-reconfigure gdm3

from Ctrl + Alt + F1 shell fixed the issue for me. The driver is still
broken as multiple screens don't work under nvidia mode, but I can get
away with playing games under nvidia mode and working under intel mode.

[FNM]

Same issue on my laptop ( Asus G501VW ) I have installed
"NDIDIA binary driver - Version 367.27 from nvidia-367" 

However, while I was searching for a solution my computer with the
issue, automatically locked itself (I have set it to lock the screen and
turn if off after 5 mins) when I moved the mouse it woke up, but this
time, I could see the screen.

I tried this after several restarts and it works, and no it does not
work if I move the mouse under 5 mins. So it has to be the screen lock.

Frank,
   If you have no NVIDIA GPU please file a new bug, that will be a different 
issue to what we are tracking in this bug.

Run `ubuntu-bug gnome-shell`.

[Starbeamrainbowlabs]

@#74 Are you sure? Are you using the proprietary drivers for your GPU or
the nouveau drivers?

Also unrelated to the above I managed to get my NVidia 525M working by
installing the 364 drivers *and* rolling the kernel back to 4.2.x. One
or the other didn't work IIRC - you have to roll back both.

Worked fine using defaualt DM (Unity) then installed gnome-shell and it

Installing the Graphics Drivers Team 364.19 driver doesn't fix the
problem on a Dell XPS 15 9550 when using the Nvidia GPU, but things are
a bit different. Before I would only get a black screen when logging in,
but now I get a largely back screen with some random looking vertical
lines. Things work fine on this driver when using the Intel GPU.

soo the latest update to nvidia-367 (uploaded 17 hours ago) re-surfaced

a loop with a tty flashing. had the intel driver selected in nvidia-

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

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

connected over HDMI which is not being detected at all. Xandr is not
even listing the HDMI port.

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

[Nuno]

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 don't work anymore.
Also, I only managed to get working the driver 361 with bumblebee, however 
after a suspend the nvidia card cannot be used getting a error of fallen off 
the bus and the message refused to change state... 

In conclusion, these drivers are NOT WORKING!

I only get the system perfectly working using the 352 drivers and nvidia-prime, 
the install of the 352 nvidia driver is not working through apt-get and 
ppa:graphics-driver/ppa, 
I had to manually download them from the site and install them manually.

Please fix these!!!
Or at least give the people the option to install the 352 drivers through the 
Additional Drivers in Software and updates.

Tested with nvidia-364 from the ppa:graphics-driver/ppa with gnome 3.18 and
ubuntu 16 and nvidia-prime with nvidia selected as gpu. It logged in fine,
didn't test further.

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.

Hi,
Looks like we may have a problem with Intel users after all.
I checked the difference between xubuntu and lubuntu ISO, and this
package is missing :
xserver-xorg-video-intel
Intel cards was supposed to work without this package, but according
to the package description, it is only the case for new cards.
If you have people affected by black screen, or no X starting, or no
lightdm starting, with Intel card, could you advise them to install
this package, reboot, and see if it's working (and report back) ?
This should affect only fresh install, upgrade should be fine (as this
package was included in previous releases).
Thanks in advance for your reports.
Regards,
Julien Lavergne "

The problem there seems to be on lubuntu, but maybe it could be the same
root problem for gnome. I could not test it yet. Would somebody verify
this?

[Crystal Paladin]

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

[Tassos]

I upgraded the following packages on 2016.5.3:

nvidia-common:amd64 (1:0.4.17, 1:0.4.17.1), ubuntu-drivers-common:amd64
(1:0.4.17, 1:0.4.17.1)

And the black screen showed up again. I had to switch back to lightdm to
login. Hope this information help...
