I have not tried running SDDM rather than the normal Ubuntu Desktop. Will try that tomorrow.
I still get the same error with Ubuntu 19.04 when I try to install the Nvidia driver. Anyone with a solution? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824670 Title: Boot to black screen after Kubuntu 19.04 install Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Legacy laptop, Dell Vostro 1720, booted to black screen after fresh full disk install. Using ctrl-alt-f2 to drop to a terminal and issuing "startx" completed the boot process. Installed NVidia 340 driver which crashed the current session and sent me to an endless GUI (sddm?) login loop where login immediately crashed back to the GUI login. Rebooting from the login screen worked as expected and system is running fine now.
