[09:03] <hc3> Hi guys. Does anyone know how to properly install Nvidia driver so it doesn't cause "black screen" pc is stuck during boot in
[09:04] <hc3> It seems to be common issue. But I couldn't find solution for that
[09:25] <Spass> hello hc3, how do you install your drivers? I've installed mine using default GUI Additional Drivers - /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4
[09:26] <Spass> then I've checked nvidia-driver-390 metapackage, also - what card do you have?
[09:28] <hc3> Spass, first time as you did and second time using ppa
[09:29] <hc3> I have geforce gt 740m
[09:30] <hc3> Both times with same result. Had to recover via grub console and 2nd time using liveusb
[09:31] <hc3> Btw have you been asked for password during driver installation?
[09:35] <Spass> It's a mobile card, so maybe the issue is somewhat related to Optimus, not sure. Another way to recover is to remove nvidia-driver-390 (or -396) package from tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) when you see the black screen, then upon next reboot you should be using Nouveau again. I'm not sure about the password, but probably yes.
[09:36] <hc3> Yeah no problems with recovery itself. Just want to make that driver work
[09:37] <hc3> Is it may be good idea to install optimus on its own and test it?
[09:37] <Spass> What comes to my mind is disabling Intel GPU from the BIOS if that's possible or trying Nvidia Primie (nvidia-prime).
[09:39] <Spass> Maybe it always uses your integrated Intel card on boot, so it conflicts with "nvidia" driver
[09:40] <hc3> Let me check if there is option to disable intel gpu in bios...
[09:40] <Spass> But unfortunately I don't have much experience in that matter, so you should wait for someone more knowledgable to respond, and since it's not really Xubuntu-only issue you can try on #ubuntu too.
[09:41] <Iolo> hc3, adding nomodeset to my kernel line in grub fixed that issue for me
[09:42] <hc3> Spass, i appreciate any help )
[09:43] <hc3> Lolo, done that. Got screen tesring back, no control over brightness, dysplays were both unclaimed...
[09:43] <hc3> Tearing*
[09:50] <hc3> Nothing related to gpu in bios. That brings me to idea of manual switching between gpus. And in general, isolation of parts installed with driver to pinpoint the failure
[10:14] <hc3> If someone could guide me.. for I'm a noob
[10:47] <brainwash> hc3: I suggest that you ask in #ubuntu
[10:57] <krybes> can anyone help with gpu drivers install? nvidia drivers won't work even on fresh 18.04 installation
[10:59] <hc3> Hey krybes how exactly it does not work?
[10:59] <krybes> x server settings won't launch for example
[11:00] <hc3> Thought you have same issue as I have with that driver. Black screen
[11:00] <krybes> oh no, I have my native resolution and all, but the driver itself isn't working
[11:02] <krybes> if i use lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 it only shows the intel chipset though
[11:02] <krybes> however if i use prime-select query it prints "nvidia"
[11:41] <Lokie> hello! I am running xubuntu 18.04.1 4.15.0-38-generic with bluetooth keyboard and wireless mouse
[11:42] <Lokie> On local network when I am receiving max traffic (17Mbit/s - due to powerline) everything is fine.
[11:43] <Lokie> When transmitting I get ~5Mbit/s and the keyboard / mouse lags really hard
[11:43] <Lokie> cpu stays stable with no real usage
[11:44] <Lokie> I understand that 2.4GHz wifi can conflict with the mouse & bluetooth, but any idea why it's happening on tx only?
[12:10] <hc3> Lokie, On tx router is emitting radio energy, on rx it just listen.. or almost like that because tcp means transmitting back kind of checksum
[12:13] <hc3> If you are looking for solution, I would recommend to try another wifi channel
[12:15] <hc3> Oh, pc transmits too..
[12:31] <Lokie> the values I meantioned are all my laptop. So laptop rx from powerline @ 17Mbit/s and laptop tx to powerline @ 5Mbit/s
[22:18] <xubuntu67w> aiuto
[22:19] <xubuntu67w> non riesco ad aprire softwere quindi non riesco a installare nessun programma
[22:19] <xubuntu67w> come posso fare ?
