[SOLVED] X11 does not start after kernel / nvidia driver update

snovik · 2018-09-29 00:42:38

I just run an update and nvidia drivers bumped to version 410.

The card is detected in lspci and also nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info

xorg.conf has nvidia device section setup with correct BusID (nothing changed from update)

However Xorg.0.log says that no devices detected and ligthdm fails to start.

More than 100 posts and you haven't included any logs? Make some effort with your posts...

TGN'ed.

Since that machine is not functional I am trying to figure out a way to upload logs to whatever cloud service....

The machine is perfectly functional, it is X that is not working.

Restoring to NC...

With what GPU? Log would seem to indicate that it's not one that's supported by the driver you have installed.

Edit: Missed the other link. It does seem to be a supported GPU.

Remove the xorg.conf, try again and in doubt, post an updated log.

Bingo! Magic!
