Public bug reported:
The video card is a GeForce GT 730, which worked well with Ubuntu 16.04.
After changing to Xubuntu 18.04, I can only run the Nouveau driver and the lack
of acceleration is quite noticeable. When I try to enable the "tested" NVidia
driver (390), the system never presents a log-in prompt, I just get a colorful
display of large blinking gibberish. I have to go to the boot options, go
directly to root prompt, and remove the NVidia driver. This make the system
usable again, but I'm back to the Nouveau driver.
I get similar symptoms with version 340.107 of the NVidia driver.
It's a little hard to collect debug information when I can't get to a prompt to
look at log files... Suggestions are welcome.
