I have a windows machine with a partitioned hard drive. I install ubuntu-17.10-server-amd64.iso (w/ a USB stick formatted by roofus, w/ UEFI).
I just do a stock installation- nothing special at all. I have an NVidia 1080 Ti graphics card.
Then, I run `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa`, `sudo apt-get update`, then `sudo apt-get install nvidia-381`. It installs a bunch of stuff, and then kernel panics, and restarts, and then on boot it fails with an error in /boot/uefi (or something like that), and launches into "emergency mode". if I try to "apt-get" anything in emergency mode, it says "it's borked- run apt-get --configure -a to resume"- I do so, and it again kernel panics, and we're back to square 1.
Also, I've tried switching out the previous commands with `sudo apt-get install nvidia-latest` - same results.
Edit: I've also installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.32.run from the nvidia website- this installed fine (once it made me blacklist nouveau) [and by "installed fine" I mean "The monitor blacked out half way through and it restarted, and the only way I could resume the install was to ssh in"]. But shortly after, when installing another program that makes use of the graphics drivers (hashcat), it kernel panicked, and screwed up the boot process.
I want to install the drivers for use with OpenCL- hence using ubuntu server instead of ubuntu.
1. Why is this failing?
and
2. How do people w/ ubuntu install nvidia drivers?
