Public bug reported: Hello all, I was trying to install nVidia driver 340 onto Kbuntu 19.04 (also tried Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux mint 19.04) ; ALL installs failed. Cannot boot and/or upon booting (Linux Mint 19.04), it will hanged hard.
I am a newbie in Linux, please offer help. I am using a HP G60 (old laptop) w/ a Nvidia GF8200M G graphics chip. Also tried download the specific driver from nVidia's web site, file: 340.1070 and 340.1060; and installed them, ALL not working and system hung. Using the X-org driver is fine, but no 3D acceleration. Any idea?? Please help.
