I would make all the nvidia ones are uninstalled, and reboot to make sure things get cleared. A simple reinstal might not be enough.Leave nouveau alone, it needs to stay there as your built-in fallback. Once you've removed all the nvidia pkgs and rebooted, you should be able to get away with running $ sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-390 That should be a metapackage that pulls in everything else. Going off the meta package will make sure all the different post-inst scripts are executed. If this doesn't work, then you've pretty much ruled out the software stuff. > I assume that some (many?) of these are done by one or more of the > others.
