I'm using a Dell m4800, with "NVIDIA GK107GLM Quadro K1100M" (3840x2160 pixels). Symptom; gdm login screen shows normally, but after typing password and hitting enter, I end up on black screen. This is after upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04.
I found a silly workaround (after trying many many other suggestions / driver re-installs), now using nvidia-driver-396 or nvidia-driver-390; create (if not exists) a file /etc/rc.local, with this content: #!/bin/bash sleep 1 exit 0 And make it executable: chmod 755 /etc/rc.local What also worked for me, is start laptop, wait for login screen, and use another machine to ssh into the laptop, and execute "sudo service gdm stop ; sleep 5 ; sudo service gdm start". After that, I could normally log on. For me this seems to indicate some sort of timing or initialization issue... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752053 Title: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1752053/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
