so, I downloaded various versions of the Linux drivers directly from Nvidia.com website. Went thru the installation process - each time starting over from scratch, formatting and reinstalling Ubuntu 18.04 so I would have a "blank canvas" to work with. This process failed too. My thinking was that perhaps the Nvidia drivers may/may not contain a component that would not break the laptop. But this was a futile effort.
Guess I will wait for a few more suggestions/ideas on how to get this graphics card working once and for all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752053 Title: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1752053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
