Sorry for the late reply. I'm not going to let you compile kernel, as
least for now. I promise.
So it's pretty simple here. After you ran following two commands:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vicamo/ppa-1856387
$ sudo apt-get update
apt has rebuilt its available packages database for install, and all
that you will do next is to install one or more packages listed in the
ppa "View package details" link[1]. Since you were on 4.15 generic
kernel, please try following:
$ sudo apt install
linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-100-generic=4.15.0-100.101+lp1856387 \
linux-headers-4.15.0-100-generic=4.15.0-100.101+lp1856387
Note for the "=" sign. It will install all the prerequisite packages as
well. Then you reboot and select to boot from 4.15.0-100-generic kernel
from grub's menu, and see if now you boot into GUI as expected long time
ago.
If you're also interested in having a try on -oem kernels, use:
$ sudo apt install
linux-image-unsigned-4.15.0-1080-oem=4.15.0-1080.90+lp1856387 \
linux-headers-4.15.0-1080-oem=4.15.0-1080.90+lp1856387
