Thanks for the bug report. Please reproduce the problem again so we can collect the full system log, then reboot to a terminal and run:
journalctl -b-1 > prevboot.txt and attach the resulting text file here. Although your Xorg log already mentions: [ 20.820] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please [ 20.820] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): check your system's kernel log for additional error [ 20.820] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): messages and refer to Chapter 8: Common Problems in the [ 20.820] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): README for additional information. [ 20.820] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device! we still need to see what happened before that. ** Summary changed: - Xorg freeze + System boots to a black screen when nvidia-390 is installed ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019481 Title: System boots to a black screen when nvidia-390 is installed Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Upon installing the 3rd party nVidia version 390 drivers for the Dell E6520 laptop, after reboot hangs with a black screen and a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner. Booting to a terminal prompt and using "sudo apt remove *nvidia*" and rebooting solves the issue. This did NOT happen in 22.04 LTS on this laptop with no other hardware or BIOS changes. This install of 23.04 was a clean install, the 22.04 install was wiped. vendor : NVIDIA Corporation model : GF119M [NVS 4200M] driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin If I install that driver the system will not boot, removing it solves the issue. I've wiped and reinstalled 23.04 4x, both with full options and minimal, the problem always returns.
