@Alistair: the system didn't really change in your case. It's just that when you first run gpu-manager, it will have no records on any previous runs (comparing "last cards number = 0" with "How many cards? 1"), so it will try to configure your system. It should only happen the first time, unless you manually delete /var/lib/ubuntu-drivers-common/last_gfx_boot , that is.
@David: passing the "nogpumanager" parameter on boot is enough. 18 seconds is a really long time, I'm not sure that is the problem. Seeing your log might have helped. @inode: disabling a GPU in the bios will make gpu-manager reconfigure your xorg.conf for you (only the first time, until you re-enable the GPU, etc.). If you don't like that behaviour, the boot parameter is ok for you to use. @Manuel: sorry but your log only shows that gpumanager is disabled, so it's not much help to me. You didn't even describe how or when the "problem" happened, so I'm not sure how to help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376832 Title: gpu-manager still deletes xorg.conf Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: To reproduce: 1. Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf 2. Wait until there is an update for some package (I don't know which one, suspect an nvidia driver one). 3. Reboot. Result: gpu-manager deletes xorg.conf. Expected result: gpu-manager does not delete xorg.conf. Despite claims of a fix, this is still happening.
