scrub my comment #11. i have NOT tested the new driver - the build in the graphics-drivers ppa doesn't insmod on 16.04 with kernel 4.4 and my system fell back to nouveau without me realising. i will test again when a working build is available.
as for switching to nvidia-304 (instead of -updates), this did not resolve the problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1579501/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
