I am currently using 384.111 drivers, which work just fine. However, I tried upgrading to 390.12 initially, which caused this error, and 390.25 does too. I suspect 390.42 will have the same issue. I've installed both from the .run
on Nvidia's website and the nvidia-384
package.
So, whenever I start up a 390.xx driver from the Ubuntu
grub option, it loads with the regular splash screen and then into tty1, except it starts blinking; as in, the screen turns off and then on again. While the screen is off, none of my keystrokes are registered, meaning I have to spam a key a couple times for it to show up. This also makes it impossible to enter my password as I cannot see if a keystroke has been registered.
The thing is, when I select the Advanced options for Ubuntu
grub option and then select recovery mode and then Resume
, it boots normally into gdm3 and I can use the system as per usual.
I tried booting into Ubuntu
and then pressing ESC to show tty1, and saw what's in the screenshot.
