I have finally getting to work my ubuntu 18.04 with drivers installed from additional drivers.
After update from ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 nvidia-390 drivers were installed, nvidia-340 package was metapackage for nvidia-390. Today I was able to install nvidia-340.106 driver directly from additional drivers, but they unfortunately did not work. I have described method how to compile nvidia-340.104 for kernel 4.15 in #114 and this worked without problems. I did comparison of nvidia-340.104 and nvidia-340.106 and found out that in nvidia-340.106 driver has fix for issue between the NVIDIA kernel driver's Page Attribute Table (PAT) support and the KPTI page table isolation. no After few tries with different kernel settings I have noticed that I have nopat option enabled in grub kernel boot. Simple fix for that was to remove nopat option in grub 1. Open grub configuration file /etc/default/grub # sudo vi /etc/default/grub or # sudo nano /etc/default/grub 2. Remove nopat from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT My current options looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" 3. Save file and exit editor 4. Update grub configuration # sudo update-grub2 5. Reboot # sudo reboot 6. Install recommended drivers # sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall 7. Reboot # sudo reboot -- 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.
