I did software update from the GUI pop-up notification - updated everything suggested except nvidia drivers (I had nvidia-375 installed, my GPU is nvidia Geforce 920M), and nvidia opencl libs.

After reboot it threw me that

The system is running in low graphics mode

So as I thought nvidia drivers should be also updated (to 378, or 384), because Xorg would require fresh nvidia libs - I did remove the current nvidia driver, then installed newer ones (378 then 384) but that didn't changed anything ...

Restarting lightdm not showing unity log-in gui, instead in the terminal I'm getting this:

No suitable _DSM call found

(also was getting this error during each boot with nvidia-settings and nvidia-prime installed, and was NOT getting when these packages are not installed)

As an additional info I have a nouveau driver blacklisted as so in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

blacklist nouveau

Also in the Xorg.0.log I can see the following

Fatal server error:
    [26.673] (EE) no screens found(EE)

Is this issue related to lightdm???

What's the root of the problem?

How to fix this?
