Dell XPS15 9560 - System is now usable, after nightmare of trials and about 50 reboots. If I recall correctly: Ctrl-Alt-F2 / F3 on login prompt; sudo update; sudo apt purge nvidia*; sudo apt install nvidia-390; I switched to Wayland and back, all broken again, so then again in tty at login prompt: sudo nvidia-xconfig (to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and then sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf No idea why to rm xorg directly after creating to make discrete graphics work and put Nvidia back in its cage, but it did. Tried sudo nvidia-settings but that does not work as system is convinced nvidia is not loaded...
Also for what it is worth, I added GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash acpi_rev_override=1 nouveau.runpm=0" as without the acpi override logout takes ages... I wont even dream about the good old days of 17.04/17.10 when I could switch Nvidia / Prime on and off... Note to myself: avoid Nvidia in laptops like the plague. Please... read this again, Tom, in 3 years when a new laptop is due **no optimus/prime/Nvidia on laptops** ... !! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752053 Title: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using Bionic with the new 4.15 kernel. I've been using the nvidia-384 driver with no problem for a while. Today I issued "sudo apt-get upgrade" and I was prompted to upgrade the nvidia driver to the nvidia-390. After installing the driver and rebooting, I was only able to boot in to the tty terminal. The graphical display failed to boot. I have had similar problems with nvidia driver version 390 with Arch Linux and with Open Suse Tumbleweed.
