Nvidia driver messes up the whole screen on Asus ROG (gtx 1060)
I bought an Asus ROG G502V laptop with these system specs:
- i7 7700 HQ processor (disabled integrated Intel graphic by the manufacturer.
- NVIDIA GTX 1060 mobile.
- 16 GB of RAM.
I installed Ubuntu 18.04.1, by default, it had the opensource NVIDIA driver Nouveau which worked fine, except for the brightness, that never changed to reflect the settings, I didn't manage to make any solution I found online to work.
So naturally I installed the official NVIDIA 415 driver, the brightness worked fine, but here is the kick, when I start Ubuntu, I have some weird screen tearing, there are some colored horizontal lines in the bottom, that keep expanding very fast until they cover the entire screen.
I have tried most of the solutions I found online, even though, none of them applied to my problem directly as I didn't find someone with this exact same bug. and even tried to reinstall Ubuntu several times but nothing worked, sometimes I manage to login, but only after I keep going Ctrl+Clt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+F2 until I manage to catch a clean login screen with no tearing (which takes some time).
The problem persist on the TTY screen, on the login screen, and even in the desktop, sometimes I manage to catch a clean login screen then when I login I get the same bug, then I have to go Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+F2 again and again until I manage to login with a clean desktop screen, once in, unless I switch user or logout, or suspend the laptop, or use anything in real full-screen mode(think a Windows game using Wine, not browser full-screen), it stays fine.
Has anyone else encountered this problem before? or know the cause of this?
