Following the instructions at:

https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-the-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux 
I ran

$ ubuntu-drivers devices.

The recommended drivers are either nvidia-driver-390 or nvidia-340. So I ran

$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

It took awhile, but finally finished. After rebooting I now have the 
nVidia driver working.

Thanks!
