Hi all! Could really use some help here, I’m unable to get my brand new Asus RTX 2080 Ti working with Ubuntu 18/19. After installing drivers, it always fails to boot and ends up with a black screen.
I’ve tried installing drivers in every possible way - through Ubuntu PPA, local .run file, installing from ‘Additional drivers’ software, etc. Always results in black screen on bootup.
I’ve tried Nvidia drivers versions - 410.5, 418, 435. All of them fail after reboot.
Has anyone got their RTX 2080 Ti working with Ubuntu?
CPU: AMD Threadripper 2920x
GPU: Asus TURBO-RTX2080TI-11G
Motherboard: Asus X399 STRIX e-gaming
RAM: Corsair 32GB
Unfortunately, the nvidia-bug-logs only contain info from the recovery mode start. Can you install and log in over ssh in the black screen case to create a new nvidia-bug-report.log?
So, I’ve managed to figure out what the problem was!
After searching through the forums for a while, I noticed multiple threads with people complaining about black screens and the issue for most of them was that they were using a DELL P-series 4k monitor.
So yeah, tried it with a different, 1080p monitor and it works like a charm.
But I want 4K, so I switched to running via display-port and now the DELL works fine as well!
So TLDR; The latest drivers can’t boot into 4K via HDMI, used DisplayPort instead.
