Dell XPS15 9560 - System is now usable, after nightmare of trials and about 50 reboots. If I recall correctly: Ctrl-Alt-F2 / F3 on login prompt; sudo update; sudo apt purge nvidia*; sudo apt install nvidia-390; I switched to Wayland and back, all broken again, so then again in tty at login prompt: sudo nvidia-xconfig (to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and then sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf No idea why to rm xorg directly after creating to make discrete graphics work and put Nvidia back in its cage, but it did. Tried sudo nvidia-settings but that does not work as system is convinced nvidia is not loaded...
Also for what it is worth, I added GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash acpi_rev_override=1 nouveau.runpm=0" as without the acpi override logout takes ages... I wont even dream about the good old days of 17.04/17.10 when I could switch Nvidia / Prime on and off... Note to myself: avoid Nvidia in laptops like the plague. Please... read this again, Tom, in 3 years when a new laptop is due **no optimus/prime/Nvidia on laptops** ... !! -- 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
