I am still having this problem with the latest nvidia drivers. At nearly every boot nvidia fails to load and gdm tries to run a failsafe xsession.
Unfortunately, there's nothing of importance in either the xorg or kernel logs. The kernel log has no mention of any failure at all and xorg's log just says nvidia failed to load and I should contact support and read my kernel log.... If I exit to terminal, i can start gdm with either "sudo gdm" or "sudo service gdm start" and everything runs normally. Could this be a mistake in user/group permissions? Perhaps gdm is being started by a system account that has somehow lost permission to load nvidia. ** Tags added: amd64 gdm login nvidia -- nvidia driver sometime does not load at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532436 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
