Problems booting - Nvidia Driver + Grub

  • 772

I'm trying to get my default option in GRUB working again. Currently, it keeps hanging before login, probably on splash screen but I'm not sure since there are just some lines on a black and purple background :/

I can access my system through recovery mode with the resume option. Then everything including graphic driver is working just as it should.

Can someone help me debug this, please? It's my working machine and I would love to have it working again - of course ^^

Thank you!

grub2 nvidia 18.04

    So with the help of oldfred I was able to fix this problem. It was indeed the nvidia driver that made problems. So the solution was to use the nvidia drivers from the repository, rather than the .run file.

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-430
sudo shutdown -r now

    Done!
