      My version of the GT 730 doesn't support DXVK. DXVK isn't necessary to run DX 11, it's just the best version but all games do not require it. I have run games like Space Engineers and banished in the past with this card. Steam play requirers the latest NVIDIA Driver. If Ubuntu won't add a package for the new driver or Canical dosn't fix it's non responsive server soon, then I will have no choice but to install the generic version from NIVIDIA's ppa.

        Did you do this:
        Linux users with AMD or Intel graphics cards should install recent versions of Mesa and LLVM through this repository: https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/mesa
        sudo add-apt-repository ppaaulo-miguel-dias/mesa
        sudo apt dist-upgrade
        sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386

          That's for AMD or Intel, I said I have NVIDIA.

            I just tried the driver update again. It seemed to work but when I tried to reboot, It failed and I got;
            Code:
            Ubuntu 18.04 has crashed.
            I tried relog but I got the same error message. Itried ALT+F2>sudo reboot. Nothing happened! Should I use the sledge hammer method -Hold power button in until the computer goes dead.-?

            edit: I tried sudo reboot in a konsel and that worked. I am using 390.87 now. I need 396. When will Ubuntu make a new package? Steam play needs the new NVIDIA driver.

                Is that an Ubuntu repo?

                        A lot of laptops come with an Intel GPU as the primary and NVIDIA as the secondary. Some won't even allow you to set NVIDIA as your primary. They are called Optimus. Is NVIDIA your PRIMARY chip?

                          This is a desktop and the NVIDIA is on a daughter card. The motherboard does have video but I disabled that in the BIOS. I used Kifocenter Device Information>PCI and it looks like the onboard video is Intel. Since it is disabled in the BIOS config then it shouldn't matter right?

                            I have no idea where you are getting a package named "nvidia-driver-396" from ,,,I can not find it @hear

                            if you search "nvidia-396" what do you get ,,,,that is what I suggested you install , from the command line , with apt-get ,,,,,

                            if you do
                            Code:
                            sudo apt-get -s install nvidia-396
                            (the -s is for simulate) what do you get .

                            VINNY

                            EDIT: hold on let me check in the bionic install ,,,thay do have a package named that in the bionic section .

                              That I don't know. It won't hurt to install the Intel stuff. If things don't work out you can always uninstall it.

                              Here is a site explaining how to do the Nvidia manual install
                              https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual

                              The following command shows the recommended driver:
                              :~$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
                              == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
                              modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000FD1sv00001025sd00000686bc03sc00 i00
                              vendor : NVIDIA Corporation
                              model : GK107M [GeForce GT 650M]
                              driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free recommended
                              driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free
                              driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
                              I used
                              sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
                              to install the recommended NVidia driver

                              You can switch back and forth between the primary driver and NVidia using
                              sudo prime-select intel

                              or

                              sudo prime-select nvidia

                              and reboot.

                              BTW, when you add a new NVidia ppa to your sources.list the command
                              ubuntu-drivers devices
                              will show the new driver as the recommended one. Using
                              ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
                              will install it.

                              You can uninstall an NVidia driver using

                              sudo apt purge nvidia-*
                              sudo apt autoremove


                              And to remove the nvidia driver ppa use

                              sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

                                you are correct the meta package (that depends on all the others you need ) is called "nvidia-driver-396" in bionic .

                                and it is strangely broken ,I will try to let them know .

                                why it was changed from "nvidia-396" in xenial to nvidia-driver-396 in bionic I am not sure ,,,,,the "nvidia-390" is still the same .
