Public bug reported:
I just installed ubuntu 16.04.1 64 bit (complete vanilla)
1. apt-get upgrade
2. apt-get dist-upgrade
3. install nvidia proprietary driver from "System settings -> Software &
updates -> Additional Drivers" (current driver is 367.57- marked "proprietary,
tested").
4. reboot
5. blank screen as described above.
I've modified grub with "nomodeset" - did not work.
Removed "quiet, splash" - did not work
add "set gfxpayload=text" - got some output to the screen, but not can't tell
what it does and I have no idea where the data is stored - and then blank
screen.
disabled vesa frame buffer (vesafb.nonsense=1) - did not work
My graphic HW: GTX 960
For now, I purged nvidia driver and the system is running well.
I am sure the card is working properly because up until 3 days ago it had
ubuntu 14.04 installed on it with nvidia driver active. Then there was an
update which caused the same blank screen on 14.04. I decided to install 16.04
fresh (over the 14.04). I hoped the blank screen issue will disappear with
16.04, but it turns out it doesn't.
If you need me to run some tests, I'll be more then happy to do so.
I installed openssh-server on my machine, so I think I might be able to ssh
into it from another machine while its in blank screen (did not test this).
