Hi. I am new to this forum. I have recently bought Dell XPS 15 9560 with GTX 1050 graphic card. I am trying Ubuntu 18.04, but I can't find any working nvidia driver. From ppa I tried 384, 390 as well as 396, each installation results in black screen. If I uninstall nvidia driver, laptop boots normally. I also tried the proprietary driver from Nvidia website, which didn't work as well. I also tried to switch using nvidia-prime after installation, which broke Ubuntu and I had to reinstall the system. So... are there any fixes coming? I don't have xorg.conf file so deleting it is not an option.

I did not imagine this hardware has so bad support on Linux. Did anybody have good experience with older Ubuntu and GTX 1050? I don't want to give up and agree this issue is NOT FIXED.
