Hi,
After installing snapshot 20180524, with kernel 4.16.10-1-default, I can only boot successfully in recovery-mode. When trying to boot kernel 4.16.10-1-default in standard mode, I get no graphical display, only flashing text, and it is impossible to login.
I have encountered this many times lately (and read the postings on this list about the root cause), but I could always repair it by installing the latest proprietary driver from NVidia, now NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-396.24.run. #396.24 driver is a BETA. The latest 'official' driver is 390.59.
On one of my computers the beta 396.24 gave me problems (the installation spat the dummy because the card either required a legacy driver OR a driver of the 390.x variety -- never had this problem until last week); but 390.59 installed without any problems.
BTW, you do run 'mkinitrd' after compiling the driver? And then reboot?
My command line for this is (abbreviated): sh ./<nvidia driver> -a ;; mkinitrd ;; reboot and I have never ran mkinitrd after installing the NV...run driver. and do not reboot unless a new kernel, only drop to multi-user (init 3) level, install the nv driver and return to graphical (init 5). Yes, that's what I do mostly, and up till now it worked. But I did a reboot, and that didn't help.
