This question already has an answer here:



  • Can't start ubuntu-desktop after upgrade to 18.04

  • How do I install the Nvidia drivers?

    13 answers



I have an Acer Aspire VX 15 (Intel Core i7, NVidia Geforce GTX 1050, 32 Gb RAM, HDD 1Tb).



I had Ubuntu 17.10 installed and everything was working fine. Then I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 and now, after I login via GDM (in graphics mode) the system halts. It becomes completely frozen.



However, if I press Ctrl+Alt+F2, switch to text mode, and then login in the console, the system works fine (in text mode) and do not halt.



Does anybody else has a similar problem?



Do you know how to fix this or how I can diagnose the problem?

  • What exactly do you see on the screen when the system "freezes" after log-in into the graphical session?

  • The Gnome desktop loads and for a few seconds I am able to use the system. Then, the screen freezes with whatever it is displaying (file manager, gedit, or just the desktop if I have not started any application).

I seems the problem was with the graphics driver. The default installation uses the Nouveau driver. After I installed the NVIDIA recommended driver (nvidia-driver-390) everything seems to be working fine.

            Which professions warranted travel in Medieval times?

I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)? First time posting, so let me know what to improve. Thanks!

            How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
