Intermittent nVidia driver loading - ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system (Ubuntu 18.10)

  • 772

Experimenting with bleeding edge drivers via graphics-drivers PPA

Dual-GPU laptop, Ubuntu Budgie w/ nvidia-driver-418 freezes the screen after about 15 seconds of logging, except for the mouse, so I tried nvidia-410 and 415 and it only sometimes loads.

nvidia-settings throws the error ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system

but loads with partial screen enter image description here

    It appears in /etc/apt/sources.d/ there were a bunch of files referencing the wrong channel (by channel, I mean distro version, so trusty/xenial/cosmic/disco etc), so cleaning those up by hand (making them all the CORRECT channel via sed) E.g., bionic to cosmic:

    sudo sed -i -- 's/bionic/cosmic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
sudo sed -i -- 's/xenial/cosmic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

    then running 

    sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoremove

    Basically put the system back in a stable state
