Just to note - On Ubuntu-gnome 15.10 install, same hardware have gotten nvidia via nvidia-prime to work. Initially on fresh install it did the same, ie. black greeter, black login. Downgrading those 2 xorg packages & a reboot allowed nvidia to work. Then upgraded xserver back & it still worked fine. Today there was a kernel & some other upgrades, after reboot nvidia again failed thru several boot up attempts. Downgraded initramfs-tools/bin, reboot & works again. Upgraded initramfs-tools/bin & continues to work. So - Makes no sense at all..
A fresh 15.10 Ubuntu install on same hardware today remains totally unable to use nvidia thru nvidia prime, xorg crash report on first attempted login is here, likely unremarkable & possibly worthless due to no various debug symbols - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1497075 ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2015-09-17 21-46-27.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1492864/+attachment/4467415/+files/Screenshot%20from%202015-09-17%2021-46-27.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492864 Title: nvidia fails, likely from xserver-core To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1492864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
