I found that both Linux Lite 4.0 and Linux Mint 19 would not fully reboot (stuck on a blank black screen), following installation of nVidia driver version 390 on my dual video card laptop: completely bricked up, as you forewarned in your tutorial above in post #1 !
So, following reinstallation of both operating systems, I installed nVidia driver version 396 instead, religiously following your tutorial. So far, so good.
However, following installation of the 396 nVidia driver, the NVIDIA X Server Settings application now wont open. This means I'm unable to switch back and forth between the Intel and nVidia cards, which I could do with nVidia drivers earlier than the 390 one.
I'd be really grateful for any advice/feedback on how to fix this one ...
Sincere thanks in advance for any help with this bugbear 8)

2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
