Hi, Have a similar issue here, I can no longer use my Blender, FreeCAD and OpenSCAD. I do not get the black screen but Blender and FreeCAD crash and OpenSCAD will not display the model. Running Lubuntu 16.04 with the Nvidia Driver 304.132
Perhaps something about my configuration will be helpful with the troubleshooting. Have a second Lubuntu 16.04 computer that is not using the Nvidia Driver and Blender runs fine on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639051 Title: gnome3 has black screen after upgrade: 304.131-0ubuntu0.14.04.2, 304.132-0ubuntu0.14.04.2 Status in gnome-shell: Expired Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-304 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Gnome desktop session produces black screen.
