Hi NVIDIA,

Since 384.90-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 was released, EGL crashes on set up (eg when performing OpenGL operations like getting the OpenGL version), see here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-384/+bug/1731968

The same problem occurs on the recent 384.111 update, released to fix Spectre. See comment #5 here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-384/+bug/1741807

Some more details also described here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47415198/missing-gl-version-from-glewinit-using-egl/47527089#47527089

I have also tried the beta of 390.12 from here:

https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

By doing the following:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390

But this also doesn't work.

Thanks,
Saxon
