This is no longer a problem in sddm. There seems to be a bug in ubuntu- drivers-common (on in systemd) that prevents gpu-manager from creating the following file:
/var/lib/ubuntu-drivers-common/requires_offloading As a result, nvidia-prime, won't see the need of offloading rendering, and you will boot into a black screen. I've filed LP: #1443364 about it. Assuming that you're affected by the same problem, for now you can do the following: sudo systemctl stop sddm sudo systemctl start gpu-manager sudo systemctl start sddm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428328 Title: nvidia-prime needs sddm support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1428328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
