Title:
  Cannot log in on unity with nvidia drivers

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After a recent update, it's no more possible to log in to Ubuntu 16.04
  when using lightdm to access to Unity.

  If I try to login lightdm disappears as if it was loading Unity, but
  after a few seconds the login prompt appears again.

  ### Workaround ###

  Current workaround has been to purge all nvidia drivers, as nvidia-352
  was installed.

  
  The same driver (nvidia-352) works correctly in trusty, and until recently it used to work even on xenial.
