[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1752053] Re: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display

[Milan Pultar]

I am not sure whether it is ok to post here, but I have lately found
this github repo dedicated to making Ubuntu run on XPS 9560. It works
for Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04 will be hopefully added as well. Many of us
have this laptop and the repo partly adresses the issues mentioned here
so I thought posting the link here might not be a bad idea. I have not
tried this myself yet, but I guess installing U17.10 is the only option
now because of the drivers problem...

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1752053] Re: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display

[Milan Pultar]

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.
