Display driver install failure - how to revert to old initrd.img-4.15.0-43-generic.old-dkms
Display AMD Radeon™ R5 M430 driver install failure
./amdgpu-install
Install failed; black screen on reboot!
The last thing said in terminal; should this install fail; revert to old initrd.img-4.15.0-43-generic.old-dkms. which is not explained.
These drivers are not ready for prime time!
amdgpu-pro-18.30-641594.tar.xz
AMD Radeon™ R5 M430
I did a re-install then un-install to recover my initrd.img-4.15.0-43-generic
Thought this sequence of steps is important;
Since my initrd.img-4.15.0-43-generic was black screen
Ubuntu advanced options selected initrd.img-4.15.0-42-generic
which booted fine - did terminal for the uninstall re-installs here.
So the system has changed - during boot up; the loading instructions no longer appear - the black screen flashes several times then pops into the sign in screen. no amdgpu driver is installed.

sudo apt install --reinstall uname -r -at the bottom of question 1068344. uname -r, --kernel-release print the kernel release
this line apparently reverts the install to the OLD initrd.img-4.15.0-43-generic
Requires quotes around the uname -r instruction which I've yet to find - no time to look. Since 18.50 installed; the point is moot.
Going to try this one next amdgpu-pro-18.50-708488-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz

tried this one amdgpu-pro-18.50-708488-ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz
installed correctly a little jiggly? This refers to the browser screen as I scroll through the pages, reminiscent of the low acceleration drivers.
Just so you know; and the reason I installed these drivers; AMD came up with a rendering engine for Blender using their hardware. So I'm excited to install it to see what it does.
