Rechecked this (multiple times) Using the GUI at Software & Updates>Additional Drivers appears to now not remove conf files and hence user is left with 640x480px (assume because of the blacklist file left in /etc/modprobe.d)
If one installs via apt and then purges - the nvidia conf file is removed and a normal at reboot results. The same behaviour is seen if installed via Software & Updates and then removed with apt purge. Pretty positive this was not previously the case when using the GUI to install nvidia driver. Only have 1 card to test against - so possibly only affects nvidia-340. Notes from testing and some pastebin of terminal logs attached. ** Attachment added: "nvidia_testing" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340/+bug/1761593/+attachment/5104355/+files/nvidia_testing ** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 (Ubuntu) => software- properties (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1761593 Title: Uninstall left nouveau blacklisted Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Following a successful install and subsequent use of nvidia-340 - uninstallation of nvidia via Additional Drivers led to a reboot to a desktop at 640x480 px. Investigation found an nvidia created file left on the system blacklisting nouveau, deleted file and rebooted to normal desktop. Didn't think about ubuntu-reporting this - can try and replicate and apport-collect if it's of any use.
