One of the worst ways to start your day is with a desktop reboot that applies some Ubuntu updates that suddenly makes x11 not work right...

What nvidia driver ver and kernel you running? Is/was it 390.116 and kernel 5.0 upgrading to 5.3, by any chance?

Yep — you called it. 5.3 upgrade. nvidia-smi dead on no loaded driver :(

And is your installed nvidia driver 390.116? It doesn't support kernel 5.3. Reboot, hitting shift to enter grub menu, select the previous should-still-be-installed kernel 5.0, then uninstall the 5.3 kernel.

I saw what looked like an update to 390.116 hit Mint 19.3 today; the changelog referred to fixing a kernel compile problem (but on 5.0, I think). So I'm not sure. I haven't rebooted. I hung off on the kernel 5.3 update as well. 390.129 supports 5.3 so I've been waiting for that.

I hastily updated to 440 and will report back later when I discovery why that was a bad idea (even though it's working now.)

My laptop's 8 or 9 years old and I think the card is only supported by 390. If you're on 440, it may just have been a failure to build the new dkms module and update the initramfs for 5.3. I'm not sure what 440-specific niggles there are.

We, I meant *upgraded*. It worked after that
