Trusty - Problems with the new 3.13.0-1-generic kernel - won't go past login screen

[cariboo]

I did the update this morning without any problems, I'm running Unity, with nVidia 331 drivers.

[Mateusz Stachowski]

This should be resolved for everyone using up to date Nvidia drivers because yesterday there was a new release of nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 which has support for Linux 3.13.

Being this solved, I now have a different problem: X doesn't detect my laptop monitor anymore and exits with "no screen found". If someone is facing the same problem, I opened a bug report here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...x/+bug/1267437

The graphics driver might install properly - however I am still left with an unbootable machine - unless I fiddle with lightdm.conf

[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter
user-session=ubuntu
display-setup-script=/sbin/prime-offload
display-stopped-script=/sbin/prime-switch

works for Ubuntu I assume - it'll not get much joy with Xubuntu

Obviously editing that file to

[SeatDefaults]
#greeter-session=unity-greeter
#user-session=ubuntu
display-setup-script=/sbin/prime-offload
display-stopped-script=/sbin/prime-switch
user-session=xubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter

let's me in.

Working fine here after yesterday's daily ISO. I got a few more updates to the 331.20 driver today:

I do not have nvidia-331nvidia-331 installed. In Synaptic I just ticked nvidia-331-updates and the rest were added as dependencies.

I guess this is the future coming to Ubuntu perhaps.

Interesting?? I have used the persistence 331, since the beginning of Trusty but I also seemed to have escaped the problems I have read here.(Lucky I Guess)

Any one else having boot problems with the new 3.13.0-1-generic kernel.

For me, it was just the opposite. 2 days ago I wasted a good part of the day trying to make my 14.04 desktop VM work. It had been working fine a few weeks ago, but not with an up to date system of 2 days ago (Not always, but sometimes I was able to ssh to the VM to do updates). I was very much "Grrrr" by the end of the day. First thing yesterday morning updates included the new kernel, and then everything was fine for desktop display, which I do via VNC on the VM.

[Cavsfan]

I didn't see where the xedgers drivers were available until now.

Do we go with xorg-edgers fresh X crack or the regular X Updates ppa?

I already have the 331.20 driver working OK. My middle of the road Geforce 9800 GT 1TB Mem doesn't necessarily need the latest driver but it doesn't usually hurt either.

Glad it fixed your system. I spent several hours trying to make it work but had to give up. It broke most every one else's.
