Hello everyone, I have a problem and I'm not sure how to solve it.

I have just installed Kubuntu 19.04. At boot I first see the kubuntu logo, then the screen turns black with a blinking cursor and that's it, nothing more. When pressing ctrl+alt+f2, I can login with my user and start the x server.
First I thought I had to update nvidia drivers, so I downloaded them from the nvidia website but the installation get stuck at 5 percent. (I even tried to let it install overnight).

So I'm quite stuck, and I'd love your help ! Thanks in advance !

My setup :
Dual screen, GTX 970
i5 4690k
