Hey guys,
I’m having an issue with kernel 5.10.2. This happens whenever I’m booting up the system and the Nvidia driver 455 is set up as KMS. Apparently, GDM fails to start (Boot seems to reach graphical target though), and I have to switch manually TTYs to get GDM show up on display.
This doesn’t happen to me when booting up on Kernel 5.4.85. It just loads GDM automatically.
I’m using a DELL Inspiron E15 7559 laptop with hybrid Intel Graphics 5.30 (i915) & Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M (455.45.01). Has anybody experienced this?
For now, I uninstalled the Nvidia driver for the kernel 5.10.2. As a consequence of that, I’m getting Gnome over Xwayland. However, it would be nice to leverage my hardware on the latest kernel.
Your insights would be highly appreciated.
PS. Below you will find the output of mhwd-li and inxi -G on kernel 5.4.85.
