The last version of drivers that worked for me was 390, but since I upgraded to ubuntu 24.04 I can’t install it anymore as the kernel is not supported.
I reach the Ubuntu login screen just fine. I then input my username/password and the screen goes blank with a white cursor at the top-left and freezes. I cant switch to another tty using ctrl+alt+F3 (or any other number).
I can ssh into the machine though. Removing nvidia drivers makes everything run fine (at a low resolution, which isn’t an option either).
Running nvidia-bug-report.sh seems to hang. I waited for a long time (about an hour) and killed it. This is the report it produced nvidia-bug-report.log.old.gz (694 Bytes)
I ran the nvidia-bug-report.sh with a --safe-mode flag and here’s the report
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (184.5 KB)
I have tried many different options that I found on the net from blacklisting nouveau drivers, changing modes in grub, to changing various BIOS/UEFI settings to no avail.
The weird part is that in many many reboots I have successfully logged in and kept using the system for a while twice, but it never stuck after reboot (I never changed anything, I just logged in, saw that it works, opened say a web browser, and rebooted, which resulted in the blank/black screen after login again).
Edit:
Figured I’ll include some details about the system (although they’re in the report).
