I think this bug describes my failure. I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3 w NVIDIA-340.104 Using the latest kernel at the time, 4.15.0-24 cinnamon crashes at boot. Also with 4.15.0-20, the kernel that comes with LM 19 and Ubuntu 18.04 I understand. I just tried the new 4.15.0-29 and have the same failure. I get a message in xorg.log that the nvidia driver failed to load, see the syslog for more error messages, but I find nothing there.
Works ok if I use the Nouveau driver or revert back to 4.13.0-45 and use the nvidia-340 driver. I am hesitant to go to the new LM 19 for this problem. I am seeing conflicting information. The kernel inadvertently dropped support for nvidia-340 and will be fixed or support for nvidia-340 is being dropped permanently. Can anyone comment on if this problem will be fixed or do I need to make other plans? Not trying to rush a fix just want to know if I wait if something will happen.
