video problems

[joe]

Running 16.04, after update, new Nvidia driver (304.132) caused login loop - resorted to nouveau driver and have arbitrary crashes and weird boot issues. Have not been able to reinstall old Nvidia (304.131). Have been checking the forum and see similar problems, nothing seems to work.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
