Lcd 5 Xpt2046 Touch Screen and Raspberry Pi 3 B+

I'm running Ubuntu MATE 18.04 on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and it works fine, but I need to install a touch screen.

I followed the steps here and restarted the system but it gets stuck on the rainbow screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

For me 5" touchscreen LCD for Raspberry pi 3 B+ works fine( touch and display). Just copy and past this command below to your config.txt on your boot file. No need to install its driver. Just reboot your raspberry pi (ubuntu mate) then it work fine.
