Yes. The above link fixes my problems.

Download the three files. Then, on a terminal:

dpkg-source -x nvidia-graphics-drivers-180_180.29-0ubuntu1.dsc
cd nvidia-graphics-drivers-180-180.29
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -uc -us
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i nvidia-180-kernel-source_180.29-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i nvidia-180-libvdpau_180.29-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i nvidia-180-modaliases_180.29-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i nvidia-glx-180_180.29-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo reboot

Thanks,
Norberto
