If not replace nvidia-glx with the package nvidia-detect tells you to use if it tells you that you need "nvidia-glx" your card is still supported by the latest version and you can install the proprietary driver with the commands in the next step.
after the install start it by entering: sudo nvidia-detect
open up a terminal window and install it with the following command: sudo apt-get install nvidia-detect A little program called nvidia-detect helps you with this because nvidia sometimes decides to not include older cards in the newest driver versions, you need to find out if your card is still supported by the most recent driver (installed by the nvidia-glx package) or whether you might need to install a package with a specific version. Unfortunately you need to now the following steps, since you otherwise might end up with an unusable system that just tells you that it couldn't load the right driver. Furtunately Linux Mint makes it easy to accomplish this. I spent the whole day doing various things, including this one (some other articles also suggest something like this), it turned out that I had an outdated /etc/X11/xorg.If your machine is equipped with a Nvidia gpu and you want to make use of it to the fullest, you need to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers. After that I was unable to get to the login screen when nvidia prime profile was enabled (enabling intel profile works ok). While playing around with OpenCL, Vulkan and other GPU-related stuff, I upgraded to nvidia-driver-440 (I did also try to install drivers from nvidia site as well). I have Ubuntu 18.04 with a working nvidia-driver-415. It might not be the exact same problem, but the title matches and people searching for the issue I had might land here. I stumbled across this question when trying to solve my "Ubuntu will not boot normally after nvidia driver install" problem. Continue reading to see if you had a similar issue. TLDR: deleting /etc/X11/nf solved my boot issue.
