[Touch-packages] [Bug 1846899] Re: X won't start at boot with either nvidia driver on GeForce GT 730 (bionic)
Searching nvidia.com for that GPU seems to recommend installing driver '430.50'. So please try: sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430 At present that will give you 430.26 but version 430.50 is in bionic- proposed so will come in a future update for Ubuntu 18.04, soonish. ** Summary changed: - X won't start at boot with either nvidia driver + X won't start at boot with either nvidia driver on GeForce GT 730 (bionic) ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xorg-server (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846899 Title: X won't start at boot with either nvidia driver on GeForce GT 730 (bionic) Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: New Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The video card is a GeForce GT 730, which worked well with Ubuntu 16.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1846899] Re: X won't start at boot with either nvidia driver
If it helps interpreting the logs: when the log file snapshot was taken, I was of course running the Nouveau drivers, 'cause that's the only way the system works. But the boot attempt immediately preceeding that was with the NVidia 390 drivers installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846899 Title: X won't start at boot with either nvidia driver Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The video card is a GeForce GT 730, which worked well with Ubuntu 16.04.
