@omar reddam - I also have the GTX 1050 in my new dell XPS-15 laptop. After deleting xorg.conf as recommended here, I went a step further and performed this command to blacklist nouveau:
$ sudo bash -c "echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf" $ sudo bash -c "echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf" Then I updated initramfs: $ sudo update-initramfs -u And lastly, I installed the nvidia software package via "sudo apt install nvidia-390" before rebooting. BLACK SCREEN.....*sigh* Has anyone tried to download the bin files directly from nvidia.com website? What were the results? I think I'll go ahead and try that. Will report back my findings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752053 Title: nvidia-390 fails to boot graphical display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1752053/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
