Ubuntu – NVidia X Server Settings GUI doesn’t start on ubuntu 18.04

18.04nvidianvidia-settings

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 but it takes no effect

~$prime-select query
nvidia

More over, I can install CUDA 10.0 and CuDNN and TensorFlow-GPU with Keras-GPU on top and it's working perfectly well. The only problem is: how to access Nvidia settings.

I've been trying to install OpenJVM versions 8.0 and 10.0, with same effect.

Drivers from PPA repository.

I've read related topics, but people also have problem with driver.
I reinstalled drivers couple times, but in vain.
Any thoughts?
