You mention Xubuntu 16.04 in your opening post but then you talk about Xubuntu 14.04 in post #3. Which is it that you are using to produce the diagnostics?

If the problem you are experiencing is with 18.04 then I would suggest that further diagnostics from that operating system may probably be more useful.

this, in itself, is definitely NOT the solution to your problem.

your output shows that you're using the open source nouveau driver.
i think this old card will benefit from the proprietary nvidia driver.
you might need to install it via command line - the "additonal drivers" gui has been known to suggest the wrong version.
please make sure which driver version you need. i think the legacy driver should be sufficient, and installable via apt!

PS:
this is probably better for you:

ThanksHondoho;Well so far it has not given issues;i was able to add additional drivers,now i try to switch to nvidia 304 but it wont switch from source nouveau driver to 304

i won't be able to help with that "Additional Drivers" gui.
i have always done this manually.

Thanks bro; anyway as long it works without issues ,i will leave it to that,if issue happens again with frequency then i go back to Xubuntu 16.04 since i have 2 Sata HD in the Machine all i do is switch connections,wish i could connect both HD at same time as i do with in IDLE.

Hi folks i've had it with Xubuntu 18.04 the glitch of graffics went out of wack happened again,well back on 16.04 version,the only beef i have with xubuntu 16.04 is that i can't get rid of chromium keying log in?anybody has a solution to get rid of this Keyring log in crap?thanks

I suggest you open a new thread about this as it is a separate issue.
