Thanks Jerry.
I've solved the issue here by one of avoidance! I've abandoned LL4 (for now), and the problem posed by being unable to switch back & forth between the graphics drivers (with nVidia 396), and the bricking up problem (with nVidia 390) and returned to using LL3.8, as noone's come up with a fix (me neither).

It's actually a pleasure being back with LL3.8 again - I'd forgotten just how smooth and trouble-free it is, and I have another 3 years. I also love it's default icon set. Hopefully by LL5, Ubuntu will have worked out how to get the graphics card switcher to work again.

See, I don't give bad advice

I wasn't following your advice - I had gone back to LL3.8 a few days ago.
Regretfully, your tone in reply #5 was aggressive - not swearing and using a less 'dictatorial' approach would help ...


Thanks
64bit OS (32-bit on Samsung[i] netbook) installed in [i]Legacy mode on MBR-formatted SSDs (except pi which uses a micro SDHC card):
2017 - Raspberry pi 3B (4cores) ~ [email protected] - LibreElec, used for upgrading our Samsung TV (excellent for the task)  
2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
