Installing ‘NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64’ (418.43):

There’s the nouveau module already loaded and not blacklisted. Furthermore, since this is an Optimus notebook, you shouldn’t use the .run installer. Please uninstall it using the --uninstall option. Then just add the Ubuntu graphics ppa ([url]https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa[/url]) and install the driver from there (sudo apt install nvidia-driver-415)

You now have the vfio-pci driver loaded which is for pci-passthrough. Looking at your kernel parameters, at some time you tried using this. Please revert the config for that.
Please post the output of
grep vfio /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*
/etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf:options vfio-pci ids=10de:139a disable_vga=1
Yes, I tried to set up GPU passthrough for kvm
Please remove that file and maybe also the kernel parameters regarding passthrough. Then reboot and see if it works.
removed this file and kernel params related.
but nvidia module still not loaded automatically , and nvidia-detector says none

The nvidia driver is loaded now but is not picked up. Please reinstall the packages nvidia-prime and ubuntu-drivers-common and run
sudo prime-select nvidia
Yes! Finally it seems working.
Thank you.

I am using ubuntu 18.04.2 upgraded from ubuntu 16.04lts.
I followed this thread and purged my installation that i had done using .run and have done nvidia 418 using the ppa but i have problems
bukhari@ideapad-Y700-17ISK:~$ sudo prime-select nvidia
Info: the nvidia profile is already set
running nvidia-settings gives

Please run
grep nvidia /etc/modprobe.d/* /lib/modprobe.d/*
to find the file that contains
blacklist nvidia
and remove it. Then run
sudo update-initramfs -u
and reboot.
After doing that the current state is as follows:

nvidia-smi still has it

NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
still not loaded unfortunately

my uefi has secure boot enabled and i am not really sure how to sign the kernel if this is what is causing problems can you please refer me to the relevant thread? or is it that installations through ppa don’t require signing
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (169 KB)
Ah, ok, didn’t catch that. If you can’t/don’t want to disable secure boot, it’s easier to do a reinstall. On installing Ubuntu you’re given the option to ‘install third party software’, choose that and the nvidia driver, then you’re guided through the signing setup. Doing this afterwards is a bit fiddly.
I have tried lots of methods,finally,I solved this problem by dong this:
delete the blacklist stuff of nvidia in /lib and /etc,and then reboot and doing the formal install.
