Yes please do try Nvidia driver 440. And certainly don't upgrade the whole OS unless you can afford the time and risk. If the problem persists then please run the commands in comment #4. And come to think of it, please also check /var/crash for any crash files. -- You received this bug

Oh, actually, I think I can see the problem in your logs. You have a proprietary Nvidia kernel driver installed but Xorg is using the (unstable) open source driver. So the driver is not properly installed AND it seems to be the wrong version. Please install Nvidia driver version 440, which you

We also recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 if you can. It seems to have fewer issues than 18.04 still does. Although we do try to provide fixes for both, some fixes will go under the radar and only appear in newer versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of
