@vanvugt: Actually, the only things necessary to trigger this bug (and thus leave your computer useless) is to install Ubuntu, with auto-login enabled, and an nvidia card in your computer. The proprietary drivers aren't necessary.
Considering nvidia's market share (80% according to the steam hardware survey, which will be skewed towards people with discrete GPUs, but still), I think giving this issue a priority of low is wrong. I think preventing people from bricking their systems should be given a higher priority. Maybe add a feature in the installer to detect if someone has an nvidia GPU, and prevent them to enable auto login if they do. Or maybe remove "splash" from the kernel CLI args for people with an nvidia GPU by default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845801 Title: [nvidia] Automatic login fails and then all subsequent logins fail.
