black screen after nvidia driver installation after upgrade to 18.04
1
after upgrading my machine to 18.04 from 16.04 I noticed that my Nvidia driver is no longer installed and after I reinstalled the driver I'm getting a black screen I've got such a problem before and fixed it with manually installing the Nvidia driver instead of using autoinstall or apt-get install nvidia (number goes here).
i've tried all the method of installation mentioned here
and read almost all topic about this problem on askubuntu , its almost 2 weeks now and i'm unable to find a solution to this problem

16.04 -> 18.04 upgrades rarely run smooth. I can't get mine working as well. Consider a fresh install.

Upgrades typically want you to disable 3rd party repos. If you did (the graphics ppa?), did you re-enable them, since 415 is not in the standard repos.
