I'm using Kubuntu 18.04 and have the Nvidia 396 driver installed. It "feels" quite glitchy, and I'd like to try to the Nvidia 387 driver. I tried removing 396 using:
sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-*
sudo apt update
sudo apt autoremove
I then tried to install the Nvidia 387 drivers using:
sudo apt install nvidia-387
However, it just installed the Nvidia 390 drivers!?
Any idea how I can install the Nvidia 387 drivers?

There aren't any nvidia-387 packages in the default 18.04 repos.

Ah, ok. So that explains why when I dosudo apt list | grep 387
I can see:nvidia-387/bionic,now 390.77-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1 amd64 [installed]
. I'll try rolling back to 16.04, will see how that goes. By the why - I'll mark yours as an answer if you copy/paste it as an answer.

Not exactly sure what you mean by "non-reproducable" - it's easy to reproduce: 1. Install Kubuntu 18.04. 2. Try to install the Nvidia 387 drivers.

There aren't any nvidia-387 packages in the default 18.04 repos. The closest match to nvidia-387 in 18.04 can be installed as follows:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # installs nvidia-driver-390
sudo reboot
The autoinstall
command of ubuntu-drivers
installs drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation including their dependencies.
