I would be curious to see what a fresh install looks like. Because when you first started reporting these bugs you had disabled the open source driver in the kernel, didn't have the proprietary driver installed, and had installed a custom unsupported kernel. So I am still skeptical that some of those changes, or other changes, may have broken the system.
Sorry it's so complicated... Nvidia retires their "old" hardware very quickly. Even when many of us would not consider it "old". Yours is in the process of being retired as it's only "supported" via an old driver. And that old driver is too old for newer kernels. It would be easy to blame Nvidia but you have to remember that these problems don't happen on Windows. So I would also blame the design of the Linux kernel for not providing a stable ABI (one that doesn't require rebuilding drivers). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889541 Title: Booting Ubuntu with Nvidia-340 gets stuck on a plain purple screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/+bug/1889541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
