    You have installed unsupported nvidia driver version for your VGA.
    Last version that supports your adapter is 390, so you need to
    install "nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver".
    You will need to remove 418 driver after installation, or switch to
    390 version by typing:
        # update-glx --config nvidia
    to make sure your system will use it. You can use "glxinfo" utility
    from "mesa-utils" package to see what driver is currently in use.
        $ glxinfo | grep -e 'OpenGL' -e 'glx'
