Oh, damn, forgot that I put this up here. It was the same after switching to 18.04, but then I fixed it. Turns out that problems loading the graphics driver during boot are so common, that there's a grub option that disables it:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" This needs to be set and Grub rebuilt. That should give you a visible command-line prompt for the drive password. After inputting that, the boot of the OS proceeds normally. Since this is a good workaround (built into Grub, even), I'll close the ticket. It would be great if this was more discoverable, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1731068 Title: With NVIDIA proprietary drivers, initial login screan appears only on mouse movement To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-384/+bug/1731068/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
