Bug Description
** this appears to be that the display is blanked/asleep at greeter & login.
Forcing or waiting for screen to blank/sleep then waking up restores display
See comments 8 & 10 for further info, demonstrations **
Please note that this bug is being filed on a recent 15.10 Ubuntu image install but from a gnome session
In a nutshell -
Once nividia drivers are installed & used from nvidia-prime there is no longer a visible display in unity-greeter nor in an ubuntu session once logged in. (a blind log in successfully loads an ubuntu session.
Everything in the ubuntu session works fine, there are no errors & all the related logs look ok, there is just no visible display.
I can open apps, run commands, copy/create logs, play music, play videos, just no display so has to be done blindly from keyboard.
On the other hand if I install gnome-shell & log in (blindly) to a gnome session from greeter then all is well & I get a visible display.
The same behaviour is seen on an Xubuntu image install, once nvidia is installed & switched to, no visible display. Again there installing & logging into a gnome session works fine with visible display
nvidia driver version doesn't matter, exact same is seen with current 15.10 versions & the one I'm currently using (355) from drivers ppa.
