I actually think it must be somehow related to my configuration, because in my previous installation in the same machine (I had to install a fresh new Ubuntu around 2 weeks ago after an HDD major crash), I was able to install nvidia-340 drivers.
The only difference between the old and the new machine configurations are the storage: >>> PAST: I had a Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD >>> NEW: I have a Crucial 500 GB SDD (where OS is installed) and a Toshiba 3 TB HDD But I don't think this could make any difference on nvidia-340 behaviour -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889541 Title: Booting Ubuntu with Nvidia-340 gets stuck on a plain purple screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/+bug/1889541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
