I have what seems to be a similar problem. Have a machine with stock Ubuntu 18.04 clean install. Ran fine with latest recommended proprietary driver for over 2 weeks. Then Friday the 15th June, 2018 it refuses to use the proprietary drivers. The latest Kernel version will not even show the login screen, just hangs in the tty 1. The previous kernel shows the login screen, but it is choppy and will not accept valid login credentials.
Also, noticed that lspci shows that only nvidiafb and nouveau modules are loaded, no drm or nvidi_xxx. I have purged and installed three different sets of drivers with no success thus far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773113 Title: nvidia-390 does not show GUI Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I know this bug is a duplicate, I am opening it because it seems that for # #1752053 it is marked as "Fix Released" although many people are still affected and complaining about it and nobody can or will change that status. So it is an attempt to raise more attention, as HDMI currently isn't usable for me on Ubuntu 18.04 (it affected me on 16.04 as well). Put in short, after Nvidia drivers are installed and I switch from Nvidia card to the intel one, the GUI can't be opened anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1773113/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
