I get a black screen after booting, never gets to the login screen.
Thanks in advance.

Please delete
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
and uninstall the intel video driver.

How do I uninstall the intel video drivers?

4

sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-intel

5

Great! Now it gets to pass the black screen and I can successfully log in again. However, I think I may still have an issue:

$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Please

  • run
sudo prime-select nvidia
  • run
grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*

to find a file containing

blacklist nvidia

and remove it,
then run

sudo update-initramfs -u

and reboot.

I got this result from grep:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf:blacklist nvidiafb

Should I remove that line?

8

No, that file is needed.
Quite odd that the driver doesn’t load. Please run
sudo modprobe nvidia
and post any errors given.

Thank you so much for your help @generix . I think everything is working fine now.
