    I use sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* followed by an autoremove.

    I performed autoremove with purge, but the problem persists.

    The error is same for 410, 415 and 418

    Uninstalled 390. Performed an autoclean.

    installed 430.

    dkms status gives

    nvidia, 430.26, 4.18.0-25-generic, x86_64: installed

    nvidia-smi gives:

    Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

    I cannot seem to shutdown/restart because it crashes with error:

    So I uninstalled 390 and performed an apt autoclean.

    then installed 430.

    running dkms now gives

    nvidia, 430.26, 4.18.0-25-generic, x86_64: installed

    but nvidia-smi gives

    Failed to initialize NVML: Driver/library version mismatch

    I cannot seem to reboot via application dashboard because it gives me a crash message:
    Executable: ksmserver-logout-greeter PID: 20007 Signal: Aborted (6) Time: 07/07/19 19:52:31

    You really should perhaps prefer the driver manager, which (I think) does more than just install a package, when moving between Nvidia driver versions.

    Another tip I always had to use when moving between Nvidia driver versions is to run sudo apt autoremove
    This will remove any stray bits of the previous driver that might be causing conflicts, and anomalies. This is especially true for drivers sourced from the driver updates PPA, at least in my experience over a number of years and at least two different cards. I have had to restart or shut down from the command line after upgrading drivers, but that was a while ago, on an old-ish card, GT 610.


    I run AMD now, no more hassles.

    Just out of curiosity, did you get the drivers through the driver manager or through PPA? I've flipped so much between Neon and Kubuntu recently, I can't remember if Kubuntu had it available on both, I remember one time Kubuntu 18.04 wouldn't even list anything in the driver manager at one time, no matter how long I waited, but then on my latest install, it showed up, but I didn't use it because of that previous experience. I'm running 430 now on Kubuntu, but I went through the PPA to get it. And no issues so far. If you went through the driver manager, that's where I would think the issue happened, just based solely on that one experience.
    I am sorry but I don't quite remember this. I remember that earlier ubuntu-drivers list would only return 390. More recently it is returning the additional drivers list. Again, I am sorry.

    Dear oshunluvr,

    I tried installing nvidia-driver-430 with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430.
    When I try to reboot via the application dashboard, the system gave me a crash notification: Kubuntu log out greeter as crashed.

    Executable: ksmserver-logout-greeter PID: 1000 Signal: Aborted (6) Time: 06/07/19 22:54:49

    I uninstalled that driver and reverted to 390.
