Black screen after install with 1660ti


Computer does not boot with P4000 and NVIDIA driversNvidia driver - After install - No unity or black screen with cursorBlack Screen, blinking cursorBlack screen with blinking cursor after dual boot install 14.04Can't Boot After Nvidia Driver UpdateBlack screen after deleting nvidia-primeBlack screen when loading ubuntu live usbBlack screen at boot with nvidia / Kubuntu 16.10Black screen with blinking cursor when restart [18.04]Ubuntu 18.10: Installing nvidia drivers leads to black screen after GRUBUbuntu 18.10 shows black screen with blinking cursor after I rebooted a Thinkpad with hybrid GPUs













0















After installing ubuntu 18.10 I get the loading splash screen followed by a black screen and a blinking cursor. I believe it's because the latest nvidia drivers (418.43) that are needed for the 1660ti haven't been added to the repro yet and need to be manually installed.



When I tried Mint 19.1 I could get to the desktop and there was a warning message about the DE running in software mode. However, I was unable to install nvidia-settings because of some missing dependencies and then dpkg problems.



How can I get Ubuntu to boot into the DE so I can download and install the driver manually?
