Public bug reported: Currently the Nvidia driver packages break the autologin feature of gdm3 whenever the 'splash' option is present on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/config/grub.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1845801 This breakage can be avoided by removing 'splash' from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/config/grub, regenerating /boot/grub/grub.cfg with 'sudo update-grub' and then regenerating the initrd.img files such that the Nvidia drivers aren't loaded prior to gdm3. The nvidia-340 package should be modified to prune 'splash' from /etc/config/grub and regenerate /boot/grub/grub.cfg prior to building the Nvidia kernel modules. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873604 Title: nvidia-340 should prune 'splash' from grub.cfg Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Currently the Nvidia driver packages break the autologin feature of gdm3 whenever the 'splash' option is present on GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/config/grub. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1845801 This breakage can be avoided by removing 'splash' from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/config/grub, regenerating /boot/grub/grub.cfg with 'sudo update-grub' and then regenerating the initrd.img files such that the Nvidia drivers aren't loaded prior to gdm3.
