Public bug reported:

Booting into kernel 4.15 results in no graphics acceleration. No nvidia
module is loaded.

Manually loading the module results in:
me@mysys /home/me $ sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:832 kmod_module_insert_module() 
could not find module by name='nvidia_384'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_384': Unknown symbol in module, or 
unknown parameter (see dmesg)
me@mysys /home/me $ 

The weird thing: there is nothing in dmesg and nothing in syslog.
Reboot with kernel 4.13.0-43 (or older) and everything works again.

me@mysys ~ $ uname -a

Please advise how to give more useful informations - I tried "ubuntu-bug
linux" and "ubuntu-bug linux-image-4.15.0-29-generic" in the faulty
state (on the CLI of kernel 4.15), but it told me that this is no linux
package.. ?
