[Bug 1575148] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0.21 does not recognize at all the nvidia card of a macbook pro 11, 1

 

More issues related to this:

1. Once every few minutes the screen flickers.

2. Upon resume from sleep, more often than not the laptop screen is
black: not working. Switching to a tty and back to control+alt+F7
sometimes makes the screen work again. What works always, though, is to
plug in an external monitor which shows the desktop background overlaid
with a grid of dots indicative of the password screen, type in the
password blindly (fortunately the focus is by default on the password
input field, which is in the blackened laptop screen), and then move the
mouse into the other display, go to top-right and push the system menu
icon to then select the System Settings, go to Display, choose "Mirror",
and then the laptop screen works again. Of course, this workaround is
not always feasible, given that one does not carries a second monitor
around.

Title:
  Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0.21 does not recognize at all the nvidia
  card of a macbook pro 11,1

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This macbook pro 11,1 has two cards:

  1. An nvidia card, which was both recognized in Ubuntu 14.04 with
  kernels 3.13.*, and worked well using the provided drivers under
  "Additional drivers".

  2. An intel integrated card, which was not in use under Ubuntu 14.04, but which now, under ubuntu 16.04, is the only card in use. The 'lspci' command states:
  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0a2e] (rev 09)

  ... and there is no trace at all of the nvidia card under lspci.

  dmesg shows one crytic message, perhaps indicating that the nvidia
  card could not be recognized:

  [    0.190838] pci 0000:00:02.0: Video device with shadowed ROM

  dmesg lists a number of "failed" entries, such as:

  [   11.791463] usb 1-3: hub failed to enable device, error -62

  [   24.891009] wl: module verification failed: signature and/or
  required key missing - tainting kernel

  ... and also:
