Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general.

[Bug 1832935] Re: NVIDIA driver 418.67 - Ubuntu 19.04
I managed to resolve this problem. Here I will describe the steps and errors I did and/or occurred: 1. I added the NVIDIA drivers PPA: ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa which caused to install a new non- distro free version of my current driver: from 418.56 to 418.67. 2. The new driver version included new dependencies that caused X-Org to crash when trying to use NVIDIA for processing the screen. 3. In addition, the new installation created non-valid "xorg.conf" which caused, again, X-Org crashing when trying to log-in either boot screen. The solution: 1. Remove both NVIDIA drivers PPA and CUDA ones from "sources.list" and/or "sources.list.d". 2. Uninstall both "mesa drivers" and "gstreamer": $ sudo apt remove mesa-va-drivers gstreamer1.0-vaapi [REBOOT] 3. Completely delete "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" which contains invalid configuration. 4. Remove new NVIDIA drivers and libraries in order to install the "older" (but working) ones. $ sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-* $ sudo apt remove --purge libnvidia* $ sudo apt remove --purge *nvidia* $ sudo apt remove --purge *cuda* I removed that all because of new dependencies installed in order to avoid versions' compatibility errors when trying to install the recommended drivers. [REBOOT] 5. Install recommended drivers with: $ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [REBOOT] 6. Boot again into Ubuntu and log-in normally, checked "nvidia-smi" and got working configuration: $ nvidia-smi Sat Jun 15 17:25:18 2019 +-+ | NVIDIA-SMI 418.56 Driver Version: 418.56 CUDA Version: 10.1 | |---+--+--+ | GPU NamePersistence-M| Bus-IdDisp.A | Volatile Uncorr.
