Ran into this issue today on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 on my desktop. CPU: Intel i5 3330 Motherboard: Gigabyte H110N GPU: nvidia 1050ti Graphics version: 390.48 -- 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/1762885 Title: SDDM starts to black screen on hybrid laptops withe modern NVidia cards Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in nvidia-prime package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in sddm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Hybrid laptop with an NVidia 960M video card boots to a black SDDM screen when the NVidia card enabled (using the NVidia 384 and 390.xx drivers). Nouveau drivers fail to boot. Switching to Intel drivers (sudo prime-select intel), SDDM loads/runs just fine. Removing the "quiet" option from grub boot shows Simple Display Manager starting without error when NVidia is enabled. Unsure how to provide additional useful information. Ctrl-Alt-f1, logging in via the terminal, and startx enables normal desktop use.
