nividia x server wont open

Ubuntu 16.04
dell inspiron 15 w GTX 1060

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. I try to open it through the gui, and the icon pops up but never actually opens the program.
I try to open it through the terminal and get:
"ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system"
This is distracting me because I cannot start my assembly HW before I get this figured out....

You can installing the latest drivers from the Nvidia Drivers PPA, they might help: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-driv...ive/ubuntu/ppa

If 64 bit system, the 390.48 looks like the one you need.
