Bug Description
OS: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch), Release: 17.10
Package: nvidia-384
Laptop model: Lenovo Z50
Graphics: Gforce 840M
Expected behaviour: To be able to login.
Actual behaviour:
After installing the Nvidia 384.90 driver from the nvidia-384 package and rebooting, I am unable to login to a graphical session.
The system boots without issue and I enter credentials to login. After clicking the button to login (or hitting Enter), the system immediately suspends.
Hitting any key on the keyboard resumes, to a blank (black) screen. The system then hangs entirely unresponsive. I am unable even to drop to terminal.

Removing the above nvidia package immediately resolves the issue and I am able to login to a graphic session as normal.
