I'm using a Dell m4800, with "NVIDIA GK107GLM Quadro K1100M" (3840x2160 pixels). Symptom; gdm login screen shows normally, but after typing password and hitting enter, I end up on black screen. This is after upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04.
I found a silly workaround (after trying many many other suggestions / driver re-installs), now using nvidia-driver-396 or nvidia-driver-390; create (if not exists) a file /etc/rc.local, with this content: #!/bin/bash sleep 1 exit 0 And make it executable: chmod 755 /etc/rc.local What also worked for me, is start laptop, wait for login screen, and use another machine to ssh into the laptop, and execute "sudo service gdm stop ; sleep 5 ; sudo service gdm start". After that, I could normally log on. For me this seems to indicate some sort of timing or initialization issue... -- 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.
