How do I install the nvidia 390 driver model 540M

You could try installing the new Nvidia installer package, nvidia-inst.
It can help you

  • use Jonathon’s repo that includes e.g. nvidia 390 series driver
  • install the nvidia 390 driver
  • possibly install bumblebee

Check the options with command: nvidia-inst -h.
Setting up Jonathon’s 3rd party repo: nvidia-inst --legacyrepo
Test only without changing anything: nvidia-inst -t
