Purged all the nivdia-* packages and rebooted - graphical logon and

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-prime - 0.8.8

---------------
nvidia-prime (0.8.8) bionic; urgency=medium

* 90-nvidia.conf,
debian/dirs.in,
debian/install.in,
debian/rules,
oem/00-prime-offload,
prime-offload,
prime-switch:
- Restore the Lightdm configuration snippets, as it removing
them caused a black screen on boot on all the Ubuntu flavours
that rely on Lightdm (LP: #1764005).
Leave only prime-switch out, since a reboot is required now.

I am still having problems. Running nvidia-prime 0.8.8.

I upgraded from 17.10 and have four monitors connected to a Dell
Precision 7510 with a Quadro M1000M.

In xorg, I get one of the four monitors. In wayland I get the other 3!

I've attached my xorg.0.log

I unfortunately can't stick around to help troubleshoot because this is
my production work machine and I thought I'd take my lunch break to
upgrade to 18.04. whoops. Now I'm going to have to wipe and revert to
17.10... :/

I am on 4.15.0.22 using Nvidia 980. I initially encountered the same
bug. But after upgrading to NVIDIA 390.59, I was able to boot up
normally.

Hi, I installed Ubuntu 18.04 x64 and it looks OK. then I added nvidia
drivers ppa and installed latest driver for my GTX 1050 in my laptop. I
did it via terminal "sudo apt install nvidia-driver-396" and it
installed drivers. But after restart I get black screen. And aftr that I
logged in with ALT+CTRL+F3. Then logged in with my usrername and typed
"nvidia-smi" the result was good and it said I have installed 396
driver.

My laptop : MSI GP62 7RD

I have the same problem and the Gnome 3 eats a lot of my CPU reducing
the performance.

I am seeing the same problem with current cosmic 18.10. The stock
nouveau drivers work fine but using 'sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall' to
install either the nvidia-390 or nvidia-396 drivers produces a black
screen (backlighting completely off) after the ubuntu splash screen has
been displayed on rebooting.

Hi!

Had same issue. Fixed by removing from `/etc/default/grub` the `nomodeset` parameter from the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"`as to obtain:
`GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""` then run `sudo update-grub` and reboot the laptop
