Bug Description
I have had this bug for a while now but only figured out the fix recently.
Basically after each new kernel update in Ubuntu Gnome 17.04, when starting the computer, GDM doesn't start.
I have to go to a terminal using Ctrl - Alt - F2 and launch a
"sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-375"
and then
"sudo service gdm3 restart"
And that's how I get my desktop back.
This has been happening regularly at least since I upgrade to 17.04 (maybe even since 16.10). I think it might be occuring in 16.04 LTS as well as I have a colleague who's experienced something similar.
