boot - Graphics driver problem: GTX 1050 - Ubuntu 18.04

I have a problem installing graphics drivers for Nvidia GTX 1050 on my Dell XPS 15 9560 running Ubuntu 18.04.


My Problem:


When I installed the drivers for my graphics card in Linux and reboot, i just boot up into a black screen saying:


"/dev/sdb2: clean, 185450/31244288 files, 4166820/124957440 blocks"


From this "black screen" I can go into TTY.


What I have tried:


I have searched the web and tried the following



  • Turn secure-boot off.

  • Tried several different drivers.

  • Tried formatting the SSD and reinstalling Ubuntu.


An answer would be much appreciated.
