Nvidia Driver Problems on Macbook Pro Mid 2010

I´ve just installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on my Macbook Pro, and from the outset I had trouble with system stability. Eventually I narrowed the problem down to the nvidia drivers (card is an MCP89 Geforce G320). In software and updates I set the driver to proprietory and re-booted.

On reboot the graphics are completely lost, all black. I need some stepwise help to dig myself out and get the drivers to work properly. Any help would be appreciated!

maybe that's the well known "EFI with proprietary Nvidia drivers enabled" related problem. You should try this answer : which solved my problem (but it was a long time ago).

Hope that helps.
