Public bug reported: 18.10 64 bit Ubuntu installer creates an unusable system that freezes within a minute, or freezes instantly upon starting any graphics intensive applications like Firefox or gnome-activities. I have a GeForce GTX 1050.
How to reproduce: * Install image, while enabling updates and third party software. * Graphics freezes as described above and in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1105037/18-10-new-install-freezes-with-intel-pipe-update-end-i915-atomic-update-fail * The system freezes even in recovery mode, where the text is overwritten and garbled quickly. How to work around: * During install disable network and disable any update of drivers and software. * Upon restart the graphics will freeze again, but recovery options do work this time. * Plug in LAN cable, start in recovery mode, enable networking, then drop into root. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 see https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-install-nvidia- driver-latest-proprietary-driver/ Now graphics will work. I then switched to using the NVIDIA driver using "Software & Updates". ** Affects: base-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: geforce gtx1050 installer ** Description changed: - 18.10 64 bit Ubuntu installer creates an unusable system that freezes within a minute, or freezes instantly upon starting graphics any intensive applications like Firefox or the gnome-activities. - I have a GeForce GTX 1050. + 18.10 64 bit Ubuntu installer creates an unusable system that freezes within a minute, or freezes instantly upon starting any graphics intensive applications like Firefox or the gnome-activities. + I have a GeForce GTX 1050.
