Can't disable nouveau drivers in Ubuntu 18.04
 
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP       up vote  3  down vote  favorite  3    I tried disabling nouveau drivers in Ubuntu 18.04 by putting these lines in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf :  #Blacklist nouveau drivers  blacklist nouveau  blacklist lbm-nouveau  alias nouveau off  alias lbm-nouveau off and updating initramfs. On reboot the gdm won't start, blocked in the last line: Trying to enter any tty, I get the same error (I had to undo changes from rescue mode). The same procedure was working on 17.10 (with xorg). My pc is an Asus ux430uq with clean install of ubuntu 18.04 (4.15.0-20 kernel). I am afraid of uninstalling xserver-xorg-video-nouveau  drivers since I don't know how to reinstall them if something go wrong (I can't get internet working in rescue mode). EDIT: Uninstalling the above package lead to the same error. Trying to boot ubuntu with the kernel flag nouveau.modeset=0  gives the same error too.    drivers nvidia 18.04 nouveau blacklist    share | improve this q...
