Ubuntu 14.04 boots to black screen Nvidia 950 GeForce
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Kernel: 3.13.0-137-generic #186-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 4 19:09:19 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
motherboard: X9DR3-F with two E2630-v2 CPUs
Graphics card: Nvidia 950 GeForce
Monitors: two 4K monitors being driven on the Displayport ports. Seiki Pro and DELL
Ubuntu 14.04
Results:
updating to the Nvidia Drivers version 384.98 results in a black screen with a flashing cursor.
In this case, the operating system appears to function normally except for the black screen and one can obtain the expected screen and remote login via a VNC and/or terminal remote connection.
Any ideas? Ubuntu 16.04 appears to work with the latest updates on this system but I'm needing to use 14.04 until I can perform a full upgrade.
Thanks, Phil
