>> The most minimal fix here for 16.04 LTS and 16.10 is to just have gnome-shell depend on xserver-xorg-legacy. Updating all the nvidia-* packages in Ubuntu and the PPAs would be a lot more trouble; although that would still be a good idea so that this gnome-shell dependency could be dropped in future Ubuntu releases.
That seems like a bad idea to me, you will break root-less Xorg for all other users that don't even use nvidia drivers. The dependency needs to come from the nvidia driver packages even if it is a Pain to update all those. That said what is the current state of Nvidia KMS implementation? I would have though recent nvidia drivers would support root-less xorg, but havent had a chance to play with any nvidia hardware since last winter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559576 Title: Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1559576/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
