Hi all,
after I install nvidia 390 open source drivers on Ubuntu I get into a never ending login loop.
I’m trying to search a solution on the internet (askubuntu, devtalk, etc.) but nothing helped me. Tried some solutions like:
I’m using a ROG with a 1050ti.
This is the nvidia-bug-report.log
http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MHvpvF6PQ4/
Someone can help me?
Thanks.
It’s an optimus system, so use only ubuntu driver packages from the graphics ppa. Package nvidia-prime has also to be installed.
Furthermore, you have to remove ‘nomodeset’ from kernel cmdline and run
sudo update-initramfs -u
afterwards.
Works fine! Thanks a lot.
Only one problem, each time turn on the pc, I have to remove that ‘nomodeset’ from the kernel cmdline. Is no there a permanent way to remove that nomodeset?
I try to search in ‘/etc/default/grub’ and I have this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash”
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=“”
This mean that in the kernel I should have something like:
linux […] ro quiet splash
Instead I have:
linux […] ro nomodeset.
Why that?
After you remove ‘nomodeset’ from grub config, you have to run
sudo update-grub
Thanks generix, you was very helpful.
No more question.
Bye
Maybe some hint: you’ll soon notice tearing, to get rid of that, create a file (as root) 99-prime-sync.conf in /etc/modprobe.d containing
options nvidia_390_drm modeset=1
and run
sudo update-initramfs -u
afterwards.
sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
should return ‘Y’ if done right (after reboot).
Till now there are no problem.
If I’ll notice tearing I’ll apply this hint.
Thanks.
Thank you very much for this fix,
It helped us a lot, before upgrading the systems to the kernels:
$ ls/usr/src/
linux-headers-4.15.0-39-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-139-generic
linux-headers-4.15.0-39 linux-headers-4.4.0-139
nvidia-390-390.87
we get again the login loop and the following error when executing the command:
$ sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-39-generic
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/bxt_guc_ver8_7.bin for module i915
After rebooting, the system re-enters the login loop.
Thanks!

Thank you Generix, very much!
The log is attached before the reboot.
The system works correctly after the next reboot, thanks!
Hello! Dear DevTalk Support!
On new Lenovo laptops, the patch works fine, and, as described in the instructions above: after a reboot, the problem goes away.
But, just received new Dell G5 laptops with the installed clear Ubuntu 16.04 and the Nvidia 390.87 driver required by our software, and with the installed instructions given here that helped us dozens of times, unfortunately, on several identical laptops, - does not work, and I don’t I manage to solve the problem myself.
I attach reports made through ssh terminal.

nvidia-bug-report.sh will now collect information about your
system and create the file 'nvidia-bug-report.log.gz' in the current
directory. It may take several seconds to run. In some
cases, it may hang trying to capture data generated dynamically
by the Linux kernel and/or the NVIDIA kernel module. While
the bug report log file will be incomplete if this happens, it
may still contain enough data to diagnose your problem.
Please include the 'nvidia-bug-report.log.gz' log file when reporting
your bug via the NVIDIA Linux forum (see devtalk.nvidia.com)
or by sending email to 'linux-bugs@nvidia.com'.

The kernel is too old for the intel gpu, please upgrade to the latest HWE:

Thank you very much Generix!
Yes, After
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
The driver works correctly, the login loop disappears.
I had the same thing happen to me in 19.10 and with nvidia-driver-435. The solution for me was to install lightdm as my display manager.
sudo apt-get install lightdm
lightdm fixed it for me. THANK YOU malanb5
