Now that framework doesn't function anymore, I cannot compile programs against the visualization drivers anymore. In the past when my machine was functioning properly, I had installed Qt5 and linked against a framework I use for work. Using tty terminals I worked through this tutorial and then I installed nvidia-340 by running the executable I got via the tutorial. I researched online and I found out that the nvidia-340 drivers are not compatible with my current kernel version. My motherboard is GT216 (GeForce GT 220).ĭriver: nvidia-340 - distro non-free recommendedĭriver: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau -distro free builtin.Īfter I shut down the computer after that failed update, at restart I got a login-infinite loop at the login screen (entered password, no login into Gnome Desktop, asked for password again, entered it again, no login into Gnome Desktop, repeat). It worked fine up until I pressed Yes (install) to some automatic updates from Ubuntu via the GUI pop-up window. If you want to upgrade the driver you simply have to uninstall it by running apt purge nvidia* and then reinstall the new driver the same way the old driver was installed in Step 2.I have a dual-boot machine with Windows8 and Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.
Once your server is rebooted you can run nvidia-smi to see if your GPU is detected. Once the driver is installed, you should reboot your server so the new kernel extensions get loaded.
If this package for example is nvidia-graphics-drivers-418, then you want to install this driver version by running:Īpt install -y nvidia-driver-418 (on Ubuntu 18.04) / apt install -y nvidia-418 (on Ubuntu 16.04) Step 3 - Reboot your server You can do this by opening this page and looking for the most recent nvidia-graphics-drivers-xxx package. First you will have to lookup the latest version of the driver. Once that is done you should run apt update. Step 1- Add the Ubuntu Graphics driver ppaįirst you should add the graphics driver apt repository. A dedicated server with a Nvidia GPU (for example the EX51-SSD-GPU).This tutorial explains how you can install the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu.
