"FECS falcon already acquired by gr" error keeps showing up and system crashes as well. (ubuntu latest LTS)

[mrchow19910319]

Spec of my desktop 

• 120GB of SSD 30GB distributed to ubuntu
• 1TB of HDD
• i7 8700
• 8GB of RAM
• GTX 1060 (EVGA single fan reference design edition)

 

This is the error message I keep getting: 

 

 

Also I cannot open system settings. If I do, above screen shows up. 

I did a quick google search it says it is the nouveau drivers fails to boot falcon on nvidia 1060s.

So how do I proceed from here?

Can you open a terminal? If so, install the proprietary driver:

sudo apt install nvidia-390

You don't need to uninstall the nouveau driver to use the proprietary one, to avoid confusion I'd keep it.

right now whenever I click software updater it tells me this: 

 

but at the same time when I click settings, I can see that I am already using the proprietary driver from nvidia.

 

am I good to go?

The update issue should be unrelated, if you don't get crashes anymore I would say it's problem solved. If you can't update despite having a working internet connection, try running

sudo apt update

and post the output.
