[Bug 1465706] Re: SRU: New upstream releases of nvidia for 14.04.3

 

After the recent update, I can confirm that bumblee broke for me as
well.  I had the same plymouth goes to black screen problem.

As a shot in the dark *(and me not trusting my installation), I removed
bbswitch and all nvidia related packages, and then installed nvidia-346.
The 3.13.0-62 kernel now boots fine with the new driver.

I did however notice that this new driver does not build against the
newer kernels.

Bug description:
  SRU Request:

  [Impact]
  The nvidia packages in Ubuntu 14.04 do not support the backported kernel from 15.04.

  [Test Case]
  1) Enable the trusty-proposed repository, and install the "linux-generic-lts-vivid"

  2) Install one of the available nvidia packages or, if the nvidia
  driver is already installed, dist-upgrade after adding the -proposed
  repository.

  3) Restart and see if the system boots correctly. If unsure, please
  attach your /var/log/gpu-manager.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

  [Regression Potential]
  Low, the packages come from either wily or vivid.
