I use Kubuntu 20.04 and have GTX 1080 TI. I decided to update videocard drivers and after that I have an issue.
When I try to load the system I faced with black screen (without cursor). I tried to remove drivers and after that I could see all gui interfaces (but couldn’t use some features like nvenc). Then I have tried to reinstall nvidia drivers and again faced with black screen.
I have tried to install different versions of the drivers but always I saw black screen after that.
Every time when I removed drivers I could use my system. But then I have downloaded drivers from nvidia site, not from repository, and tried to install by .sh file. Now I see black screen and can’t remove the drivers by apt remove nvidia*.
Can someone help me with it?
Maybe it will help:
$ sudo modprobe nvidia -vv
