Hi. I am new to this forum. I have recently bought Dell XPS 15 9560 with GTX 1050 graphic card. I am trying Ubuntu 18.04, but I can't find any working nvidia driver. From ppa I tried 384, 390 as well as 396, each installation results in black screen. If I uninstall nvidia driver, laptop boots normally. I also tried the proprietary driver from Nvidia website, which didn't work as well. I also tried to switch using nvidia- prime after installation, which broke Ubuntu and I had to reinstall the system. So... are there any fixes coming? I don't have xorg.conf file so deleting it is not an option.
I did not imagine this hardware has so bad support on Linux. Did anybody have good experience with older Ubuntu and GTX 1050? I don't want to give up and agree this issue is NOT FIXED. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752053 Title: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using Bionic with the new 4.15 kernel. I've been using the nvidia-384 driver with no problem for a while. Today I issued "sudo apt-get upgrade" and I was prompted to upgrade the nvidia driver to the nvidia-390. After installing the driver and rebooting, I was only able to boot in to the tty terminal. The graphical display failed to boot. I have had similar problems with nvidia driver version 390 with Arch Linux and with Open Suse Tumbleweed.
