Combination of Vadim and Aergistal's process is what worked for me. End result is no gdm3 and I'm using gnome-shell instead of ubuntu's 17.10 gnome desktop. This was a repeatable process :):
ssh into my ubuntu 17.10 machine sudo apt-get purge gdm3 sudo apt purge nvidia* sudo apt install nvidia-384 hard reboot of ubuntu 17.10 machine (yikes) got the login screen and a combination of my old gnome-shell with ubuntu's menu on the left side (configured to be there by default) Thank You Aergistal and Vadim! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705369 Title: Ubuntu 17.10 boots to black screen when using Nvidia drivers (on a desktop with an Intel GPU) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1705369/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
