2016-07-12 16:30:10 Brad Figg linux (Ubuntu): status New Incomplete
2016-07-12 16:33:39 David Jordan description This issue prevents installing Ubuntu and booting with certain GPUs until the Nvidia-367 graphics drivers have been installed. Nouveau in 16.04 doesn't include support for the current series of Nvidia GPUs (Pascal architecture, GTX 1070 and 1080), but still tries to load, resulting in boot hanging at a blank screen. The current behavior will cause Ubuntu 16.04 to be difficult for most users to install on computers with NVidia hardware newer than the previous generation. To reproduce: Create an Ubuntu live image and attempt to install Ubuntu on a computer with an NVidia Pascal GPU. Expected Results: Ubuntu graphical installer appears. Actual Results: Boot hangs at blank screen. This issue prevents installing Ubuntu and booting with certain GPUs until the Nvidia-367 graphics drivers have been installed.
