So, I have a problem with starting Nvidia X Server Setting. Running nvidia-settings also cause error like this:
ERROR: Unable to load info from any available system
My system is: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Drivers are properly installed nvidia-smi:

I can change profile with prime-select from nvidia to intel and back again.
More over, I can install CUDA 10.0 but I am unable to access Nvidia settings.
I installed Nvidia driver from PPA repository:
ubuntu-drivers devices:

My problem is identical to this problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1099198/nvidia-x-server-settings-gui-doesnt-start-on-ubuntu-18-04
I however have not tried to install CuDNN and TensorFlow-GPU
Furthermore trying to start Nvidia Visual Profiler or Nsight Eclipse provides error codes I have not been able to figure out of yet.
All the best
