--- Comment #22 from todd (toddsmb@gmail.com) --- @Chen,
I'm going to be tied up for a few weeks, due to a larger than normal workload. So I won't have time to mess with this bug right now. In the mean time I will try blacklisting all vid drivers and see what happens. Although I suspect it will act the same as when the X display manager is disabled by setting multi-user.target. But I know it won't be any time this week. Maybe mid next week if I'm lucky.
For the time being though, there are 3 work-arounds listed here that fix the problem.
1) Change runlevel from 5 to 3 (permanent fix - see opening post + comment #6).
2) Restart your X display manager once you log in. For instance Xfce spins use Lightdm. (Temporary fix that lasts until the system is rebooted). * See comemnt #16
3) Install another video driver and blacklist Nouveau (permanent fix but a big hassle if you run secure boot). * see comment #5 for manual Nvidia driver install or see comment #7 for external repository to install Nvidia driver.
I personally don't know anything about the repo listed in comment #7. Whereas in comment #5, you are downloading directly from Nvidia themselves.
