I downloaded the latest Ubuntu daily last evening (20190413) and installed it. I was unable to use nomodeset to get to tty. I tried numerous times to no avail. This morning I booted to recovery mode and used the root terminal to run updates. A new kernel version was installed so I thought why not reboot and see if it made any difference. To my surprise, the system booted and was running normally with the 418 Nvidia driver active. I was able to use prime-select to switch to Intel and it works as well. I have no idea why it is working now but am happy to provide any additional logs if you want to investigate further.
My next step is to try installing another 19.04 release like Kubuntu or MATE to see if a similar situation occurs. I will answer back with my findings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824661 Title: Nvidia issues with 19.04 and XPS 15 9750 GTX 1050 Ti Mobile: Boots to blank screen that flashes a couple times. Can't get to tty. Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in slick-greeter package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello. I am having issues consistently with this laptop and the Nvidia drivers in 19.04. I have tested this on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, and Ubuntu MATE. This is with both the recommended 418 driver as well as 390. Today I tried installing the latest daily of Ubuntu MATE with the proprietary driver option on my Dell XPS 15 9570 with Nvidia GP107M (GeForce GRX 1050 Time Mobile). Boots to blank screen that flashes a couple times. Can't get to tty. Reboot, editing grub to include nomodeset. Boots to underscore character in the top left. I can get tty at least. 418 driver is installed. Looking at logs but nothing seems obvious. If there's anything I can do to help with this please let me know. Thanks!
