Public bug reported: When using nvidia-361 drivers gdm will not start, whereas lightdm will start (and is able to launch a gnome DE session).
I get a blank screen. Sometimes it cycles between blank and then flash to tty and back again and again. I am reporting here after reading the 'where to report a bug' page on the ubuntu wiki, but the following Xorg bug may be related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1559304 If I use prime-select intel then I can start GDM.
