I have just done a fresh install of 18.04. It would not boot until I added 'nouveau.modeset=0' to the grub command line (as was the case with 17.10).
At first, using the nouveau driver, everything was broken. No ubuntu session, no ubuntu on wayland session. I think I managed to log in to the wayland session once, after that wayland session login would just go back to the login screen. Ubuntu on xorg with the nouveau driver gives me one of: * a purple screen and nothing else (after waiting for minutes) * a black screen and nothing else (after waiting for minutes) * a minute of black screen / no signal and then the login screen again I then installed the nvidia drivers with 'ubuntu-drivers autoinstall'. After a reboot, the login manager popped up, and I can actually log in to ubuntu (wayland option has gone, which is no big loss, that's not ready for real use anyway). I get an Xorg session. Haven't tried much else yet. I'm now starting the process of re-installing all my applications, keeping my fingers crossed that the new installation will hold up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770479 Title: No graphics on dell xps 15 (nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1770479/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
