Crash on

[GRRRRZ]

Hi!

I am having an issue where Mint crashes once it reaches the "please unlock disk sda3-crypt".

This only occurs when the NVIDIA driver is installed. After I revert back to the open source driver, it boots normally.

While running the NVIDIA drivers, I can to the advanced menu > recovery > start normally > start normally and it boots, the drivers appear to load okay.

I'm running an MSI GT72 2QD-205AU, this has onboard graphics and the NVIDIA 970m 6gb, so I think it may be causing a conflict.

Any ideas?

Thank you

This sounds like a similar issue: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi ... 1/#4494391

Let's try this. Open a terminal and type:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak
gksudo xed /etc/default/grub

If you're using Mint 17.x, you'll need to change xed in gksudo xed /etc/default/grub to the appropriate text editor. In Cinnamon, "xed" becomes "gedit", in MATE, "xed" becomes "pluma", in Xfce, "xed" becomes "mousepad", and in KDE, "xed" becomes "kate" (I think).

Add the line GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="640x480. It may already be there but commented out (this means it's preceded by a "#"). If so, simply delete the #.
Now look for the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= followed by some words inside quotation marks. Delete the word "quiet".

Finally, run

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

and reboot.

Hope this works!
