No monitor signal for 26 seconds after signing in (boot hanging for 26 seconds) after installing Nvidia driver
I recently installed Nvidia drivers from the negativo17 repo (GTX 770). Now whenever I boot everything is fine until I sign in. Both my monitors get no signal and nothing happens for 26 seconds, then the boot continues like nothing happend. Everything else works fine, I can play e.g. Rocket League without any problems.

The same weird 26 second pause(xorg.0.log):

Any ideas?
Nvidia driver and nouveau both active? I use a GTX970 with proprietary nvidia, 378.13 and no nouveau driver. No problems on loading. I do get a plymouth text only boot, but I can live with that. Can you disable nouveau and see if that helps?
I'll try it when I get home in ~ 11 hours. How exactly do I disable the nouveau driver?
hey, looks lke steveebey is right, can you add a line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf which blacklists nouveau? You can do this by the following command too; IF you haven't blacklisted the nouveau driver already.
echo "blacklist=nouveau" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
reboot your system and check if this works :)
Got a blacklist.conf now with "blacklist=nouveau" written in it, also followed this guide 2.6 through 2.6.5: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.co...
Still getting the same 26 second blackscreen.
only other thing to check, is negativo trying to update the driver each boot. I use the proprietary driver, with dkms to update the driver on kernel changes, and that is the only time I get a blank screen for any great length of time, is first boot, after a kernel upgrade.
