I am trying to install Nvidia Driver 384.59. in 16.04 LTS. I bought a Nvidia 1050TI graphics card, which works in Windows 10, but Ubuntu can't start a UI. - or rather it tries - I see the GUI login prompt for a second or two, hear a "clunk" on my speakers, and the screen clears to black with a blinking cursor, (no prompt) in the upper left corner.
It will give me the recovery boot menu, and then a text box that I'm in low graphics mode. after that all choices seem to lead to the "flash of a GUI"- CLUNK- black screen. I have tried to use "drop to root prompt", but the file system is read only, so I can't use apt to upgrade my drivers.
