The ubuntu-drivers autoinstall command installs drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation including their dependencies, and the Nvidia driver will also be updated automatically when an update is available. The two graphics drivers can be installed alongside each other allowing the open source graphics driver to be used as a fallback alternative in case there is a problem using the proprietary graphics driver.

When installing a proprietary graphics driver, it is not necessary to uninstall the open source graphics driver.

However, I cannot log in - after entering my password I get sent back to the log-in screen. With gdm3 activated, (and with the 'WaylandEnable=false' line in /etc/gdm3/nf commented out), I am able to get to the log-in screen with the Nvidia driver installed. slim gives a black screen on boot-up (no 'Started bpfilter' message).

Tried lightdm, gdm3, and slim display managers.

Tried modifying /lib/modprobe.d/nf as described in this post.

I have tried the following without success: If I then unplug the monitor, I get kicked out to the Ubuntu log-in screen. If I then go to system settings, the desktop goes black and gives me the same 'Started bpfilter' message.

Without the Nvidia driver installed, if I plug in an external monitor through HDMI, it is not recognized. I'm also unable to use an external monitor with this laptop, which I believe is a related issue. I used nvidia-driver-440 because this was recommended by 'ubuntu-drivers devices' but I've also tried 390 and other versions and gotten the same issue. The computer is able to boot up normally. I can still access the command line with ctrl-alt-f1. The laptop, on boot-up, just shows the message 'Started bpfilter' and hangs. I'm running into issues installing the Nvidia drivers on this computer. The operating system is Ubuntu 18.04 (came installed by Dell). I have a Mobile Precision 7530 laptop with an i7-8750H and Nvidia Quadro P2000 GPU.
