I tried to install a package with the nvidia-340_340.108-4ppanoble9.2_amd64.deb controller on Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE because it is for noble. Everything went well, the black screen remained after the restart and it was not even possible to start tty1, tty2 ...
Then in Recovery Mode I was looking for logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log, xsession-errors), but there was no error through the MC program. I created a simple xorg.conf for nvidia driver in /etc/X11. Then I managed to get to tty1 and enter startx. It wrote something in the sense that the controller was compiled for the older version of xserver. But Black Screen won. Similarly, I tried an older Linux Mint 22 XFCE (Ubuntu Noble), but it was not a success. So can we suspect a core failure or too "new" xserver towards this driver? Older versions of the driver work on LM 21.x (Jammy). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1916640 Title: Nvidia 340.108 driver is not working newer kernel series than 5.10.x Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As usual I have opened this (no more) new bug report...
