Weird loop on MDM start with Nvidia Drivers
MarceloRuiz opened this issue · comments
MDM starts and sometimes shows a black screen. Some of those times it will fallback to a different login screen (much simpler) and sometimes it will keep in a loop showing a black screen, the login terminal and sometimes only the cursor, making it impossible to login to mint.
The Nvidia driver used for the crash is version 340.96. Driver version 304.131 does not show the system but makes Cinnamon panel and menu unusable (I'll file another bug for that). Nouveau does not show the issue but shows general graphic corruption in Cinnamon.
