Public bug reported: Issue: After switching to a VT it is only usable for a few seconds and then it blanks out (goes completely black) but I can still write to it. Switching back to VT 7 (X11) and back to the VT I was using makes it usable again for a few seconds before it blanks out again.
Workaround: Switching to NVIDIA driver 340.96 fixes the issue. This is hardly a long-term viable solution though. Affected/tested machines: HP z440; NVIDIA Quadro K620 Dell Precision T3500; NVIDIA Quadro 600 Notes: The nvidia-367 package for Trusty is from the Canonical-maintained "Proprietary GPU Drivers" PPA. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-367 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620312 Title: NVIDIA 367.44 on Trusty with Xenial HWE stack: VT only usable for a few seconds and then it blanks out To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-367/+bug/1620312/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
