After upgrading to ubuntu 18.04, my nvidia driver was updated to version nvidia-390 and now I'm unable to login from lightdm with regular users. I tried other display managers, but I have the same issue.



What is really odd, is that I'm actually able to login with root and nvidia driver enabled.

          I have an Intel GPU and am experiencing the same issues.



          lightdm and gdm3 do not work



          Though lxdm does work with LXDE. And even that eventually dies.



          I haven't tried logging in as root yet.
