Ubuntu 18.04 boot fail on video driver
To be able to play some games, I got a message saying that I had to upgrade my video driver.
Going into setting, I could NOT select any of the other nVidia driver, than the one installed by default with Ubuntu. So, I went to nVidia site to dowbload the latest drivers.
After downloading and installing the latest nVidia Ubuntu driver from nVidia, I did a reboot to have the new driver working ... Did not work at all (Power off to restart!!)
With a live Ubuntu Stick, I got this in the kernel log:
Blockquote
ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/ubuntu/Ubuntu 18.04 SSD/var/log$ tail kern.log

Ovbiously, it is the X server that is not upto date! What can I do to correct this problem and Ubuntu be able to boot normally?

Searching in the logs I found that the nVidia driver package seems to be at fault!
Here is the relevant portion of dpkg.log relative to nVidia:
Blockquote
