I have finally getting to work my ubuntu 18.04 with drivers installed from additional drivers.
After update from ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04 nvidia-390 drivers were installed, nvidia-340 package was metapackage for nvidia-390. Today I was able to install nvidia-340.106 driver directly from additional drivers, but they unfortunately did not work. I have described method how to compile nvidia-340.104 for kernel 4.15 in #114 and this worked without problems. I did comparison of nvidia-340.104 and nvidia-340.106 and found out that in nvidia-340.106 driver has fix for issue between the NVIDIA kernel driver's Page Attribute Table (PAT) support and the KPTI page table isolation. no After few tries with different kernel settings I have noticed that I have nopat option enabled in grub kernel boot. Simple fix for that was to remove nopat option in grub 1. Open grub configuration file /etc/default/grub # sudo vi /etc/default/grub or # sudo nano /etc/default/grub 2. Remove nopat from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT My current options looks like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash nomdmonddf nomdmonisw nomdmonddf nomdmonisw" 3. Save file and exit editor 4. Update grub configuration # sudo update-grub2 5. Reboot # sudo reboot 6. Install recommended drivers # sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall 7. Reboot # sudo reboot -- 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
