[Bug 2128897] [NEW] Login screen won't show

 

Public bug reported:

I guess an nvidia driver or something updated and now my login screen
won't show. I get a warning from the monitor about the resolution or
something. I have an ROG Strix XG49V widescreen monitor, and an nvidia
3080 lhr gpu. I'm not entirely sure its an xorg problem.

I can still alt-f<x> to get to a cli, which is how I filed the report in
the first place.

At the end of the report, I got an error saying Missing X server or
display. ui/aura/env.cc:257. The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.
So this is done via the url from another computer.

I noticed if I try to apt upgrade there are some possible nvidia update
packages but are currently held back to due phasing, so maybe there is a
fix on the way?
