I managed to resolve this problem. Here I will describe the steps and
errors I did and/or occurred:
1. I added the NVIDIA drivers PPA: ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa which caused to
install a new non-
distro free version of my current driver: from 418.56 to 418.67.
2. The new driver version included new dependencies that caused X-Org to crash
when trying to use
NVIDIA for processing the screen.
3. In addition, the new installation created non-valid "xorg.conf" which
caused, again, X-Org
crashing when trying to log-in either boot screen.
The solution:
1. Remove both NVIDIA drivers PPA and CUDA ones from "sources.list" and/or
"sources.list.d".
2. Uninstall both "mesa drivers" and "gstreamer":
$ sudo apt remove mesa-va-drivers gstreamer1.0-vaapi
[REBOOT]
3. Completely delete "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" which contains invalid configuration.
4. Remove new NVIDIA drivers and libraries in order to install the "older"
(but working) ones.
$ sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-*
$ sudo apt remove --purge libnvidia*
$ sudo apt remove --purge *nvidia*
$ sudo apt remove --purge *cuda*
I removed that all because of new dependencies installed in order to avoid
versions' compatibility errors when trying to install the recommended drivers.
[REBOOT]
5. Install recommended drivers with:
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[REBOOT]
6. Boot again into Ubuntu and log-in normally, checked "nvidia-smi" and got
working configuration:
$ nvidia-smi
