Installing newest PPA driver for Nvidia (410) leads to black screen
So after some trial and error I settled on installing the nvidia drivers via the ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-410
410 is the current live branch on the website: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and I'm also running an RTX 2080 so its the only version that supports my GPU.
The install completed successfully, and then I rebooted. I reboot to runlevel 3 because I saw that this is the right thing to do when installing graphics drivers. Then to start x:
sudo init 5
Now X starts, the screen lights up and the login window appears. I put my password in - then the screen goes dark.
Any ideas on what I should do to be able to fully log into X?

Here is the most reliable procedure I found to install NVidia drivers on Ubuntu 18.04.
- Download the latest here: https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
- Set the driver file to be executable.
- Switch to terminal: ctrl+alt+F3
- kill GDM: sudo service gdm3 stop OR sudo service gdm stop
- run the installer: sudo ./Nvidia….bin
- ignore the fail in the pre-check.
- ignore the updated libsvm (spelling error) library
- If you are running the 64 bit OS, ignore 32 bit library fail
- update GDM configuration automatically.
Restart your computer and enjoy. Unfortunately, it seems that this procedures has to be periodically repeated with Ubuntu updates.
