I have now got my system partially working after upgrading the nvidia driver from 384 to 390, however when I try to load Nvidia X Server Settings nothing happens.
If I run nvidia-settings in the terminal it just hangs.
I am running a two monitor setup and only one is working, so this is very frustrating.
I have gone through the process:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get purge .*nvidia.*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
sudo nvidia-xconfig
sudo reboot
Here is the output from inxi -Fxzb:
