[SOLVED] Black screen after logout

[hexabit]

After logout, screen goes black, monitor turns off, cannot enter tty (it is not displaying anything), after a few seconds I hear a "beep" and i got MDM back.

I have Nvidia 319 drivers installed (it is working properly).

How Can I debug this ? Anyone knows what is happening here ?

[perham]

if I understand correctly, you get the mdm and it's working after logout. so, I don't see the problem. that's not a bug. when you quit your session, another one needs to be loaded. that's what's happening.

[hexabit]

Yeah but on previous linux mint editions it was like few seconds this time it takes like 20-30 sec... and that strange *beep* sound...

I also cannot go to the tty (ctrl+alt+1) because the monitor is turning off after that...

you can probably check dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.*.log for traces of problems then.

in dmesg I have something like this:

EDIT:
just upgraded kernel to 3.12.7 and nvidia drivers to 331.20 -- STILL THE SAME ERROR !

[perham]

looks like a nvidia problem. you should definitely report this as a bug. if you don't use gaming or your card is supported, give nouveau a go and see if that's better. since nvidia drivers are proprietary, you need to contact them for support.

[hexabit]

I do play games (via Steam) - the drivers works perfect I do not have any other problems with it except the one with logout...

alright, then I guess it's not worth touching for a mere 23 seconds

[Condorman]

I also have this problem on a Samsung N130 netbook, which has no Nvidia whatsoever onboard. It's an MDM issue, and seemingly stems from the animated HTML themes as opposed to the static ones. The way to solve it is simple. Just go into the Login Manager (Login Window), and set the theme to Clouds. This is a non-animated static theme which eradicates the problem.

Hope this helps.

[Condorman]

Ahh dammit, scratch my last post. This works mid-session, but the fix doesn't survive a reboot. The search for a solution continues...

But it's not nvidia anyway.

[hexabit]

Ok. So the problem seems to be gone when installing new kernel and latest nvidia drivers...

1) I downloaded kernel from here (kernel 3.13.3 lowlatency amd64 ):

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... .3-trusty/

2) Installed those three files:

linux-headers-3.13.3-031303-lowlatency_3.13.3-031303.201402131842_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.13.3-031303_3.13.3-031303.201402131842_all.deb
linux-image-3.13.3-031303-lowlatency_3.13.3-031303.201402131842_amd64.deb

3) Downloaed latest nvidia drivers from here (334.16 beta):

http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverRe ... 3100/en-us

4) extracted drivers with:

Code: Select all

$ ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-334.16.run -x

5) went to folder:

Code: Select all

$ cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-334.16.run/kernel/

6) comment out the line 306

Code: Select all

$ nano -c nv-acpi.c

so it looks like:

Code: Select all

//NV_ACPI_OS_WAIT_EVENTS_COMPLETE();

7) finally go to folder and installed drivers

Code: Select all

$ cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-334.16.run/

Code: Select all

$ nvidia-installer --no-unified-memory

Everything works now (glxinfo shows direct rendering: yes) and of course when reboot no segfaults.
