This graphics card (Nvidia 1050) has a DMI-D output, the Asus motherboard an HDMI.
When starting with HDMI hooked in (and the other monitor disconnected), the Bios screen comes up fine, Mint KDE 18.3 with all updates loads to the logon screen. After entering the user password it continues to load but stops before completion with the following error . . .
"Plasma is unable to start as it could not correctly use OpenGL2. Please check that your graphics drivers are set up correctly."
I've tried both nouveau and the proprietary Nvidia drivers with no success.
I can break out of the freeze with a Ctl-Alt-F2 to the command line and can at least cleanly exit. Any suggestions at this point would be appreciated.
