Disclaimer: This is mostly for my own reference when I reinstall Ubuntu, however you may find it useful.
- Boot into Ubuntu without modesetting, or else you'll get a black screen. When GRUB appears, highlight Ubuntu and press
e
, then changequiet splash
tonomodeset
, then press F10 to boot. You'll have to do this to get the LiveCD to boot also. - Install the ppa for proprietary Nvidia drivers:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
- Update your repositories:
sudo apt update
- See what drivers you have available:
ubuntu-drivers list
- Install the latest driver (in my case, "nvidia-driver-435":
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-435
) - Reboot your system
