Ubuntu 18.04 (mint 19) Cinnamon Running Nvida 390 on Thinkpad W541 Same issue. Interestingly it works while being docked and connected to multiple monitors via dock. Could find a way to make it worked undocked yet. Tried all PPA drivers, alternative displaymanagers(slim, gdm) and what not.
I saw somewhere else i believe that you can comment out: Option "PrimaryGPU" "Yes" in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf to make it work. Well it does show the login screen afterwards but cinnamon is contantly crashing and everything being super slow. But that might be a hint to the right direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773113 Title: nvidia-390 does not show GUI Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I know this bug is a duplicate, I am opening it because it seems that for # #1752053 it is marked as "Fix Released" although many people are still affected and complaining about it and nobody can or will change that status. So it is an attempt to raise more attention, as HDMI currently isn't usable for me on Ubuntu 18.04 (it affected me on 16.04 as well). Put in short, after Nvidia drivers are installed and I switch from Nvidia card to the intel one, the GUI can't be opened anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-390/+bug/1773113/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
