More details: - this is on Ubuntu 12.04 - the module does load into the kernel - lightdm does present a login screen - nvidia-340 doesn't work on this system - compiz fails to start (from ~/.xsession-errors): gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: Application 'compiz.desktop' killed by signal gnome-session[6632]: WARNING: App 'compiz.desktop' respawning too quickly - no amount of moving ~/.compiz* ~/.nv* ~/.cache/compiz* ~/.config/compiz* aside made a difference
The only thing that worked was grabbing the previous version from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 and apt-pinning it like so: /etc/apt/preferences.d/nvidia.pref Package: nvidia-304 Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: nvidia-current Pin: version 304.131-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Pin-Priority: 1001 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' now does not upgrade to the problematic version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639180 Title: no login possible after update to nvidia 304.132 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/+bug/1639180/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
