I experienced the same problem when I tried to install Ubuntu 19.04 with the initial option to install third party drivers. After installation and the first reboot, the system will not start up. I will see if I can reproduce this and post the log report.
I have a Dell Vostro 3670 PC with the following deatils: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz; Motherboard: Dell Ince OV8F20; 12 GB RAM; NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] [10de:1c81] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]); -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798790 Title: Ubuntu login screen never appears when using the Nvidia driver (and setting WaylandEnable=false fixes it) Status in gdm: New Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gdm3 source package in Eoan: Confirmed Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Confirmed Bug description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/483 formerly https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/435 --- The boot process hangs with the last message being "started bpfilter". There is unusual Network activity during that time. The light of the WiFi adapter is blinking a lot. I am not sure the problem is with the gdm3 package. As a matter of fact, I would remove it and let someone more experienced to set it. I'm afraid I might break something, though. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem: 1. Boot Ubuntu 18.10 with the Nvidia proprietary drivers installed. The behavior you expected: I expected Ubuntu 18.10 to boot normally. The behavior you actually encountered: The computer gets stuck in a command-like environment with the last message being "started bpfilter". You can't type any commands. I have found that uninstalling the Nvidia proprietary drivers by going into recovery mode fixes the issue. Booting with the earlier kernel doesn't fix the issue. Installing the earlier v.340 driver also doesn't fix the issue. This (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1032639/ubuntu-18-04-stuck-in- boot-after-starting-gnome-display-manager-on-intel-graphic) seems relevant. This is where I found the "solution".
