I tried solutions to this problem from different threads in this forum - but had no success so far. Purging old kernels, purging all nvidia installations, etc - none have worked so far. I have attached the bug report below. I would really appreciate help in fixing this issue.
Thanks for the quick response. I tried the following:
-sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.78.run --uninstall
-sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt install nvidia-driver-418
-I rebooted the machine
-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.
So, no success yet. Everything was working fine until i started following instructions to install tensorflow 2.0 on Ubuntu 18.04(Cuda 10) from this page.
When I open up software updates, this is what shows up (attached snapshots)
I found a file under /lib/modprobe.d/ that contained blacklist nvidia. I deleted it and ran the update-initramfs command and then rebooted. Now it shows me the login screen GUI. But when I enter my password, it just hangs there and nothing happens.
I have connected my monitors to the motherboard, instead of the graphics card slots. Does this have anything to do with this?
I am trying to have my monitors use the integrated intel graphics, while I dedicate the GPU just for my ML/deeplearning experiments.
