I am on Ubuntu 17.10. I have clean installed it on my desktop with 250gb / partition, 592gb home and 8gb swap.
I have a Nvidia GeForce 7025 graphic card and I installed the proprietary driver from the 'Additional Driver' in software and updates. After restarting, the system crashes on login. The only way to boot is to log in to recovery and 'sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-*'
I am using the Nvidia-304 driver as recommended by the Update center. I also tried installing the latest driver nvidia-390, even that didn't work.
If I use the nouveau driver, the system boots and runs but crashes a lot. Everything stops responding and the only thing to do is hard reboot.
I have disabled Wayland by removing the comment on WaylandEnable=false at /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
Any help?
