I am using a Dell Precision 5770, with an Nvidia A3000 GPU, and Ubuntu 18.4.0-131 and trying to use a Dell WD19 dock to drive two external monitors… Whenever I try to install an nvidia driver through apt install, or if I try to manually install the firmware for the dock the laptop gets stuck on the clean, xxx files, xxx blocks screen. If I reboot into a shell I can run apt purge nvidia* and it reboots just fine. I have blacklisted nouveau by adding the following lines
blacklist nouveau
blacklist lbm-nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
alias nouveau off
alias lbd-nouvuae off
to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf.
Secure boot is disabled.
I have tried running ubuntu-drivers autoinstall and I get the following:
and the same failure to boot. I don’t know what else to do.
I cannot update my version of Ubuntu as I need it to compile projects for work.
