John: I tried 4.10.0-33-generic, I tried 32-generic, and several versions before. I'm running the latest firmware from Dell, 1.3.4 I believe, and had something older before that.
Almost every time I boot with nvidia installed it freezes at the FDE prompt, and I can't enter my password. If I don't have nvidia installed, it freezes when I try to login. I have tried various combinations of black/whitelisting modules, nvidia installed and uninstalled and nothing seems to work. One think that probably contributed was that at one point I had XWayland installed, I went back and installed ubuntu-desktop but there is probably some holdout somewhere in the configs that's breaking it. Since it freezes before the FDE pass, I can't get any useful logs and can't switch TTYs or get out of the plymouth splash to see what's behind it. It's also worth mentioning that if I boot 4.10 into recovery mode and drop to a root shell it boots fine, which is why I'm certain it's related to video drivers (it's also one of the first things loaded in the grub config I noticed. I suspect a fresh installed might help me get around this, but it's a work machine and I don't currently have the time to set up from scratch, also, that doesn't help pinpoint the issue. For the time being I'm stuck on 4.8 because it boots and I can carry on working. I run only in intel mode, I have no requirement in my day to day work to run nvidia and the battery benefits of being on intel are more beneficial to any graphical/performance benefits. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697556 Title: Computer freezes after login - 4.10.0-22-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1697556/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
