Forgot to mention that the command lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga was the easiest way to see what display driver is running (nouveau or nvidia).
Other commands found on the internet, didn't work on my laptop.

Eventually it reaches the desktop where it takes another 5 minutes to display the panel. In a terminal it fails to execute any network command (ifconfig, ip) as well as "sudo" and "lshw". If I boot with the previous kernel, the 4.18.0-18 of Kubuntu 18.10, it works without problem. For now I have set its grub to start by default the 4.18 kernel instead of the 5.0 one. I tried running "apport-cli -f -p linux --save kernel5.0onOldDellInspiron1720.apport" but that has been spitting out periods ("....") for 10 minutes now and still hasn't finished. dmesg output attached.
