Bug #1632322 - about computers with _only_ an NVIDIA card refusing to boot with proprietary drivers, because of GDM3 - was declared a duplicate of this bug yesterday and further discussion was to be conducted here. Hence my posting here to point out that bug #1632322 is _not_ a duplicate.

Bug #1632322 is about GDM3 as such not playing nice with NVIDIA. It has nothing to with Optimus. And it doesn't concern "hybrid (prime) systems", which is the bug referenced in the release notes on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME#Known_Bugs.

So could bug #1632322 be reopened, please? And possibly even looked at before release?
