George, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 1) Regarding the version of the nvidia drivers you attempted to use, it appears you are using an upstream or 3rd party version. Could you please mention where you obtained the driver from?
2) Could you please install a supported version of the nvidia driver found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia and advise to the results? 3) Do you have this issue if you don't install a proprietary nvidia driver? 4) To advise, when attaching logs, please don't snip/grep/cut logs. Attach logs in their entirety from the first entry of a boot to when the issue is reproducible. Developers can't work with snips. ** Tags added: latest-bios-1.13 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748656 Title: Black Screen of Death after logging into Ubuntu Bionic: "Failed to acquire modesetting permission" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1748656/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
