[Bug 1501041] Re: No visible display in ubuntu session when using nvidia drivers via nvidia-prime until screen goes to sleep, then waked up
What happens in an ubuntu session is -
After logging in, no display. If the session is left inactive until display is put to sleep, then awakining it thru keyboard or mouse brings back a visible display. (default is 5 min. of inactivity
A simple startup script via startup applications demonstrates -
script in ~/bin
#!/bin/bash
xset dpms force off
xset dpms force on
~/.config/autostart/unblank.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=unblank1
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=unblank
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=3
So with above in place after the blind login > 3 secs > visible display
is returned
It's been suggested that xorg.conf needs some serverflags, ie.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
Though not effective here as a standalone section & if there is an
xorg.conf solution then it needs to be patched into ubuntu-drivers-
common
** Also affects: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
Please note that this bug is being filed on a recent 15.10 Ubuntu image
install but from a gnome session
In a nutshell -
Once nividia drivers are installed & used from nvidia-prime there is no longer a visible display in unity-greeter nor in an ubuntu session once logged in. (a blind log in successfully loads an ubuntu session.
Everything in the ubuntu session works fine, there are no errors & all the related logs look ok, there is just no visible display.
I can open apps, run commands, copy/create logs, play music, play
videos, just no display so has to be done blindly from keyboard.
On the other hand if I install gnome-shell & log in (blindly) to a gnome
session from greeter then all is well & I get a visible display.
The same behaviour is seen on an Xubuntu image install, once nvidia is
installed & switched to, no visible display. Again there installing &
logging into a gnome session works fine with visible display
nvidia driver version doesn't matter, exact same is seen with current
15.10 versions & the one I'm currently using (355) from drivers ppa.
** this appears to be that the display is blanked/asleep at greeter & login.
Forcing or waiting for screen to blank/sleep then waking up restores display
