I have updated Ubuntu around 01/09/2021. After this update I restarted my PC and booted Ubuntu. I reached Ubuntu Graphic Login to Desktop, but I noticed that Login screen is only on one monitor ( I work with 2 monitors and before both monitors were used) and resolution is not right (black border around all edges of monitor). I entered my password but I was not able to get to Ubuntu Desktop. After entering password there was black screen with some flashes and after few seconds I returned to Graphic Ubuntu Login Screen. I repeated login operation few times, the behavior is always the same. I managed to shutdown PC from Graphic Ubuntu Login Screen. I started my PC/Ubuntu once again but selected advanced boot options. In this screen there were show 3 last linux kernels. Last one 5.11.0-27 (which does not work I confirmed this later) and the one before the last 5.8.0-63. I selected this. It did work and I managed to login to Ubuntu desktop no problems. I decided to wait few weeks and today 09/10/2021 I have booted 5.8.0-63 and I updated my Ubuntu hoping that problem was noticed and solved. After update I rebooted PC/Ubuntu and the problem still persist. I rebooted with advanced boot options. I have notice that latest kernel is 5.11.0-37, next is 5.11.0-27 and both don't work (both behave the same) and third one 5.8.0-63 - this one works. I am not very experienced with Linux, but my gut filling is that problem is with Nividia Video Driver. First can you fix this problem in next updates? Or find some work around ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+19ubuntu14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-63.71~20.04.1-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-63-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0000.01.00.0: Error: path was not a regular file. .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 340.108 Wed Dec 11 11:06:58 PST 2019 GCC version: gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) .proc.driver.nvidia.warnings.fbdev: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console on the primary VGA device.
