I looked around in a lot of different posts and websites but the result is always the same: once I reboot I never reach again the login scree - the laptop freezes with a black screen.

I tried a lot a different actions but none helped me to find a solution for my current configuration: Ubuntu: 18.04 Kernel: 4.18.0-25-generic Graphic card: Quadro P3200

I currently run the 390.116 nvidia driver version as an alternative to the nouveau ubuntu nvidia drivers. This version is the ONLY one I can run on my system.

I tried PPA packages (410, 415, 418 and 430) but none of them work.

I also tried the 430 version recently "officially" proposed by Ubuntu but with no luck.

In the BIOS I have: - Disable the secure boot - Forced the dGPU to replace the iGPU (no card switching) In addition I have: - in /lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-kms.conf added the following line: options nvidia-drm modeset=0 - Always prime-select set to nvidia

To test the other versions I also tried: - To blacklist nouveau - To add nomodeset in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT but both of these actions were not required for having the 390 version working.

Can someone tell me where the problem is?

Thanks!!!

  • Did you check this post? – singrium Aug 09 '19 at 08:57
  • The post you mention is not related to the nvidia driver I am trying to install. The driver is even older than what I already have. In addition, if you read carefully my post, I blacklisted nouveau driver, which is what they do by modifying the grub default.. Unfortunately that is not the answer. – Giggus Aug 09 '19 at 09:41
  • I know it is not the same driver version, what I wanted mention in that post is adding nouveau.modeset=0 to the config file. And since you already tried it, the post is not useful for you anymore. – singrium Aug 09 '19 at 09:53
