Description Roberto Guerrini 2020-06-26 13:29:47 UTC
With Kernel 5.8 rc1/rc2/ the desktop don't is visualized.... this on Ubuntu 20.04 and vedeo card Gtx 760 Nvidia with Nouveau Driver. The machine is on... the keyboards led working but the screen is black.
Comment 1 Roberto Guerrini 2020-06-29 16:51:17 UTC
Tested with 5.8 rc3 also and the result is the same .... black screen ... but the computer works so I think it is the Nouveau driver with the gtx 760 to wrong the video output.
Comment 2 Roberto Guerrini 2020-07-06 04:52:07 UTC
Tested with 5.8 rc4 also and the result is the same.... Black screen with all monitor with Gtz 760 and nouveau driver!!!
Comment 3 Ilia Mirkin 2020-07-06 05:10:09 UTC
Has nouveau ever worked with this board? Can you get dmesg from a failing boot?

Unfortunately without logs, it's a bit hard to tell what's going on. Chances are the machine is fine, so you should be able to ssh in and get them. Or perhaps you can acquire logs from a previous boot, depending on your logging system.

Basically I saw where the loading stops ... it stops at "Started Gnome Display Manager"
Gdm.service

Comment 9 Nathan Bryant 2020-07-18 22:04:29 UTC
I'm seeing similar symptoms on my Geforce GTX 1070 (GP104). Screen blanks after GDM login, Wayland works, Xorg doesn't. This is a regression from 5.7 to 5.8-rc1.

As long as I only have my primary monitor connected, after the failure I can still switch to another VT with Ctrl-Alt-F3 and log in to the text console.

~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log has a few of these:

[    17.240] (EE) modeset(0): failed to set mode: Invalid argument

    drm/nouveau/kms: Support NVIDIA format modifiers
    
    Allow setting the block layout of a nouveau FB
    object using DRM format modifiers.  When
    specified, the format modifier block layout and
    kind overrides the GEM buffer's implicit layout
    and kind.  The specified format modifier is
    validated against the list of modifiers supported
    by the target display hardware.
    
    v2: Used Tesla family instead of NV50 chipset compare
    v4: Do not cache kind, tile_mode in nouveau_framebuffer
    v5: Resolved against nouveau_framebuffer cleanup
