[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[layingback (laying-back)]

Same problem (as determined by automated reporting which dumped me here). Occurred during the Meltdown Security update of 16.04.03 install to Kernel 4.13.

Will attempt switch to non-nvidia driver before restart.

[Mikko Nahkola (mnahkola)]

Same as previous user.

Sort of a bother, this old luggable with the Quadro GPU is still a fairly decent machine despite its age... hope there'll be a fix for the driver.

[summoner (ssummoner)]

Confirmed!

Same here. I have an nVidia Geforce 9800 GT. After the 4.13 kernel update the nVidia 340 binary driver goes wrong... Changed to x-org driver that work fine.

I hope there'll be a fix for the 4.13 kernel.

[Serg (avsa1107)]

Confirmed!
Same as previous user.

[Stefan (stefanduelist)]

Resorted to boot with old kernel image from GRUB menu as a workaround. I hope this gets fixed soon.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[fife (fife0)]

I also have a Geforce 9800 GT and am equally frustrated by the apparent gpu driver vs latest linux kernel conflict. This may fall on nvidia to update their drivers to include a 4.13 patch. Last update for 304.104 was September 2017.

The following may be informative:

"Legacy GPUs are older-generation NVIDIA GPUs which are no longer supported in the regular NVIDIA Unified UNIX Graphics Driver. Instead, these GPUs will continue to be supported through special "Legacy GPU" drivers that will be updated periodically to add support for new versions of Linux system components (e.g., new Linux kernels, new versions of the X server, etc)."
(http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html)

"The Linux 340.* legacy driver series is the last to support the G8x, G9x, and GT2xx GPUs, and motherboard chipsets based on them. Support for new Linux kernels and X servers, as well as fixes for critical bugs, will be included in 340.* legacy releases through the end of 2019.

The Linux 304.* legacy driver series is the last to support the NV4x and G7x GPUs and motherboard chipsets based on them. Support for new Linux kernels and X servers, as well as fixes for critical bugs, will be included in 304.* legacy releases through the end of 2017."

[Diogo Gomes (diogogomes)]

This is really bad for one of my computers.

The open source drivers crash the system since a few years ago and after this update I can't use the proprietary drivers there.

Boot with old kernel image from GRUB menu do not seems a workaround because after the Meltdown and Spectre we can't stand with an outdated kernel.

[Richard Collins (rcollins0618)]

going back to 4.10 works. Otherwise, everything appears as normal except I can't login to any of my user accounts (local machine, ubuntu usernames). Logging in appears to work, and then I'm back to the login screen again.

[emmanuel okeke (emmanix2002)]

Started having the same issues today after updating to the linux-image-4.13.0-26-generic.
Had to remove the binary driver, and switch to the X.Org version temporarily.

[Martin Segado (msegado)]

Looks like it's already been fixed in xenial-proposed**. As a workaround until the new version appears in the main repos, open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and type:

    # Add xenial-proposed source:
    echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-proposed restricted main multiverse universe" \
      | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xenial-proposed.list
    sudo apt update

    # Install the updated package:
    sudo apt -t xenial-proposed install nvidia-340

    # Remove xenial-proposed source:
    sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xenial-proposed.list
    sudo apt update

Hope that helps,
Martin

Thank you - I can confirm that installing nvidia-340 from xenial-proposed resolved this for me.

Martin's solution solves it for me on Ubuntu 16.04.3

[MauRice (dalmagro)]

I solved the 340.120 issue with kernel 4.13.0-26-generic Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS ....

Boot with an older kernel, download this patch:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1019362/fully-working-patch-for-nvidia-driver-340-102-compiler-installer-file-and-linux-kernel-4-12/

Rename and copy the patch in /usr/src/nvidia-340-340.102/patches/buildfix_kernel-4.12.patch
Modified the dkms.conf by disable patch 4.9 & 4.10 and enable only patch 4.12.

Part of the dkms.conf:

....
#PATCH[0]="buildfix_kernel_4.9.patch"
#PATCH[1]="buildfix_kernel_4.10.patch"
PATCH[0]="buildfix_kernel_4.12.patch"
#PATCH_MATCH[0]="^3.[8-9]"
....

Build and Install the kernel module:
 sudo dkms build -m nvidia-340 -v 340.102 -k 4.13.0-26-generic
 sudo dkms install -m nvidia-340 -v 340.102 -k 4.13.0-26-generic

Reboot

[Andrey Filchenkov (radren)]

I fixed a problem using this commands:

    # Show all posible drivers
    sudo ubuntu-drivers devices

    # Choose another one
    sudo apt install nvidia-384

    rm .Xauthority .ICEauthority

After that Ubuntu started.

[Ruslan Kovtun (koutoftimer)]

Martin's solution worked for me

    $ uname -r
    4.13.0-26-generic

[Nat Wyatt (natwyatt)]

I solved it with this:

sudo apt install nvidia-304-updates

(4.13.0-26-generic; Quadro NVS 290)

That got me to 304.135-0ubuntu0.16.04.2. Latest on nvidia.com/object/unix.html is 340.137 2017.9.19.

I don't know if either of them have the Meltdown/Spectre fixes.

[Jason (jshortall)]

It still doesn't work with Xinerama.

I have two nvidia gpu's running 3 screens. Only one gpu works without enabling xinerama, and when I enable it, Ubuntu crashes immediately after login and bumps me back out to the login screen.

[Linard Verstraete (linardv)]

Last week the fixed version of nvidia-340 (340.104-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) that resolves this bug has landed in xenial-updates. Just as the previous comments and people before me, this fixed the reported issue.

So what are the remaining steps to close this bug report?

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Hello,
this bug report is quite old, do you still have this issue with the nvidia driver with latest kernel?
Thanks

[mvsfrasson (mvsfrasson)]

Hi

I don't have access to that hardware anymore. So I do not have issues with
it.

Thanks

Miguel

Hi Po-Hsu Lin,

As mentioned in comment #30, the fix for nvidia-340 has been released and available in xenial-updates since January 2018. I can confirm on the relevant hardware it has been working ever since.

I can't comment for another package channel or nvidia-304.
