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.
