Unity 8 freezes after attempted log on

[Ivan D. Sanders]

When I switch to Unity 8 in the lock screen in Ubuntu 17.04, and try to log on the system freezes. I can move my mouse, but I do very little.

I can shutdown and restart, surprisingly, but that is about it.

This is the freshest install of 17.04. I know, its full of bugs and early, but lets figure this one out together!

I need some help from you, what logs and stuff do you need? What do you need from me? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for logging a fresh bug.

Now we can see your system details it appears this is a duplicate of bug 1575516 (or possibly bug 1628478).

Can you tell us what model Nvidia card/chip you are using?
