NVIDIA card not working even after drivers installation
I'm trying to activate my NVIDIA graphics card (GeForce GTX 1050) on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. My laptop is Lenovo Legion Y530. I tried the installation of one the drivers from NVIDIA official website (nvidia-driver-415) and then rebooting my system. But this doesn't seem to work. When i try nvidia-smi in terminal it shows
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 415.27 Driver Version: 415.27 CUDA Version: 10.0 |
|-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC |
| Fan Temp Perf Pwr:Usage/Cap| Memory-Usage | GPU-Util Compute M. |
|===============================+======================+======================|
| 0 GeForce GTX 1050 Off | 00000000:01:00.0 Off | N/A |
| N/A 42C P8 N/A / N/A | 0MiB / 2000MiB | 0% Default |
+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
So I conclude that the card is off. Also when i try nvidia-settings it causes an error and shows the blank page. However if I try sudo prime-select nvidia it tells me that it has been already selected. So I'm completely stuck and don't know how to fic this problem.
Some of the background. I had troubles with Ubuntu installation before and switching to Intel Graphics card solved them.
Thanks in advance.

I have a GTX 1050 Ti and it works well on Ubuntu 18.04.2
Note: these steps are for a desktop with an aftermarket video card installed. If your laptop has a more complicated configuration, this may not be the proper process.
The following steps will purge the incorrect driver, add a ppa with more recent versions of the driver, and install it. You will end up with the 390 driver, which is what you want.
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get install nvidia-384 nvidia-settings
This worked for me both on my original Ubuntu 18.04 install and now on the 18.04.2 HWE kernel.
You might be able to install nvidia-390, but that is not what I did.
