Unfortunately, the new nvidia driver 331.20-0ubuntu0.0.2 is not working with KDE.
Logging-in is possible but then a black screen is shown, but the xserver is not crashed.

In Xorg.log there is an error with acpi; log attached

[ 11.962] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon
[ 11.962] (II) NVIDIA(0): may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X

[ 11.962] (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X
[ 11.962] (II) NVIDIA(0): Config Options in the README.

Using the old nvidia 304 driver, I'm getting the following error at loading the nvidia module;

[ 5.543571] nvidia: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
[ 5.544024] nvidia: Unknown symbol acpi_os_wait_events_complete (err 0)

Maybe there is an incompatibility with the acpid or with the acpi kernel functions?

Best regards, Bernhard

Where can I download/find package nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (331.38-0ubuntu0.0.1) to test this version?

@Bernard: please type the following command:

sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh

 and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz

Log is attached;

Kernels 3.11.0-20-generic and 3.13.0-24 are both affected with this "black screen"-error in KDE.

It seems that KDE without effects works and Ubuntu/Unity with effects too.
Other OpenGL apps too.

331 works fine here, even with hybrid graphics.

Please attach the following files:

1) the output of "apt-cache policy nvidia-331"
2) the output of "apt-cache policy acpid"

As for 304, I haven't fixed it to 3.13 yet.

The following line in your X log is very suspicious:
[ 10.975] (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)

Nvidia driver 304 works fine without problems, but after installing nvidia-331 also on older kernels (3.8, 3.11) the problem in KDE occurs.

For what purpose is package nvidia-331-uvm (NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module)?

I have tried the following tasks, but without success;

- Reinstalling nvidia-331 driver (with purge)

- Installing nvidia-331-uvm together with nvidia-331

- Disable OpenGL2-Shader in kde-effects

The maximum working setup I get is two times KDE Logging-in (with reboot between) is working with effects, but a third time the black screen shows up;

Can you please provide another latest nvidia-driver 331.38-0ubuntu for e.g. with package nvidia-331-updates in precise-proposed?

Thanks, Bernhard

Or latest: nvidia 331.67
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/75019/en-us

Version: 331.67
Release Date: 2014.4.9

- Fixed a bug that could lead to crashes when running Left 4 Dead 2 with threaded optimizations enabled.
- Updated the makefile for the NVIDIA kernel module to work around a bug in older versions of GNU Make that prevented the NVIDIA kernel module from building correctly. This bug was fixed in version 3.81 of GNU Make.
- Fixed a bug that causes some X clients to be disconnected from the X server when the screen is resized while RandR 1.4 display offloading is in use.
- Fixed a bug that could cause display corruption when resuming from suspend on systems using RandR 1.4 display offloading with recent Linux kernels.
- Added support for Tridelity SL stereo mode.
- Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to crash or display incorrect information after switching virtual terminals while a color correction confirmation countdown was active.
- Added a missing 32-bit compatibility library for libnvidia-fbc.so to the x86_64 Linux installer package.

Unfortunately releases >= 331.49 break hybrid graphics, and we're waiting for NVIDIA to fix the issue before we update the driver in Ubuntu.

You can still install an updated driver from the xorg-edgers PPA.

Can you reproduce the problem if you enter an Xfce session or a Unity session?

version 331.38:
Working; Gnome/Unity, KDE *without* effects
Not Working: KDE *with* effects => blackscreen

It seems like that it is a KDE issue with this nvidia driver version.

Tested from xorg-edgers ppa
331.67:
All sessions working, but with acpi failed message in Xorg.0.log
Hibernate is not working (freeze after resume)=> This is a NoGo, because I use this feature daily!

304.121:
All working fine, but with acpi failed message in Xorg.0.log and hibernate is working too :-) .

I'll stay at version 304.121 from xorg-edgers until a fixed version is available in precise repos.

The new package nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu0.0.1 from precise-proposed is working fine now with KDE and hibernate.
=> no black screen in KDE and no acpid failed messages in Xorg.log anymore !

kernel: 3.13.0-27-generic , xserver: 1.14.6-0ubuntu1~precise1

Thanks, Bernhard

Hi Alberto,

You wrote: "As for 304, I haven't fixed it to 3.13 yet." That appears to still be the case in precise.

I applied the patch from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/trusty/revision/21 to nvidia-304 from precise, and it works for me. Would you accept a merge proposal with that change?

(I guess we also need 304.117 in order to support the lts-trusty X server...)

Can you please add nvidia-304{,-updates} tasks for Precise to this bug for tracking? (If you prefer I can open a separate bug.)

After installing the trusty xstack too, I ran into the black screen issue, which many people suffer from;
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1283938

kernel 3.13.0-30-generic #54~precise2, nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu0.0.1
Xorg message after black screen: (after wake up from hibernate)

(EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): WAIT: (E, 0, 0x857d)

It seems to be a combination of kernel, Xorg-server, X-components, which triggers this bug, because without the trusty Xstack there was no black screen issue with this kernel version.

Supplement to this black screen issue with nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu0.0.1;

I've found a workaround for my config/setup
(12.04 with kernel and Xstack from trusty with nvidia driver, lightdm with kde, and only hibernate used);

Boot your system to lightdm, then login to your Desktop Environment (KDE) , let it finish ...
After that logout back to lightdm screen and login again !
=> Now try to hibernate, after the resume there is no black screen anymore and you can unlock the screen and use your desktop!!

My résumé after testing is that maybe there is a race condition in the services/daemons (acpid, dbus, lightdm) or different bugs are playing together (Kernel, X, drivers, daemons).

There are also no acpi messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log anymore (also no acpi failed messages).

Any suggestions?

Are there news about the HWE of the nvidia 304 driver for kernel 3.13?
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304/trusty/revision/21

Adding HIBERNATE_RESUME_POST_VIDEO="no" to /etc/pm/config.d/hibernate solved for me the problem.

Now the resume from hibernate is working without a black screen/freeze.

Correction:
The workaround, described above, does not solve the problem, black screens after resume from hibernate again.

Adding pci=nomsi to /etc/default/grub at GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="pci=nomsi" seems to help, no black screens so far.
I'm testing this at the moment.

Furthermore I've tested driver nvidia-331_331.89-0ubuntu0.0.1~xedgers12.04.1_amd64 from ppa xorg-edgers, but no success without pci=nomsi.

nvidia-304 from proposed boots and runs on my test hardware (6150SE and 210). I can't comment on the problems reported earlier in this thread since I haven't experienced any of them.

I will put some users on this tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for preparing this update!

Update to the black-screen-issue after hibernate;

Since kernel update 3.13.0-37.64 I can use MSI-interrupts with the nvidia module again and the black-screen-issue after hibernate is gone.

Thanks!

No problems reported with nvidia-304 in my environment. Marking verified.
