[mythbuntu] Wrong resolution after failed manual NVIDIA driver update [Archive]

ubuntini2

October 7th, 2017, 10:50 PM

Made the mistake (which I will NEVER do again!) of trying to manually update my NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS.
Anyways the update failed and now I am left with a screen resolution that is wrong (too low resolution)

How do I restore the proper resolution? The attached shows I am still running the older 384 driver.
Any kind Linux gurus able to help me thru this?

This is my xorg file

Update
I tried editing my xorg by adding
Modes "2560x1440"
but after rebooting my resolution is higher but only 1024x768!

2nd Update
Not sure if its related but if I choose
System>Preferences>Hardware>NVIDIA XServer Settings
I see
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X Driver...

3rd Update
I've included my NVIDIA install log for completeness

ubuntini2; Hummm ....

Let's get the system cleaned up and the correct driver installed from a proper source,

Show:

sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*"
lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d'
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia*

Be aware nvidia says:

Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package.

Our people - in coordination with nvidia and ALL the industry - maintains a repository of the latest tested nvidia drivers .

it's a big thing

ubuntini2; Ouch !

My ignorance is going to air :)

Twin nvidia cards and I do not know how the kernel can cope/address this configuration ;
mate-optimus : I do not know how the tool works ,, a direct conflict with nvidia-prime that is also installed ? I just do not know.

Others with the greater skills here will chime in and advise.

sometimes I just do not know

ubuntini2

October 8th, 2017, 02:57 AM

Just wondering
Should I do a

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
and then simply use Software & Updates to reinstall the latest Ubuntu compatible Binary driver ? (384.90)

Bashing-om

October 8th, 2017, 03:04 AM

ubuntini2; No.

If you are going to take that route. the OEM installer also provides the UNinstaller/
Did you ever run " /home/jim/Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-387.12.run "
such that now you need to run the uninstall script ?

there is a way that seems right

that leads to a broken system

ubuntini2

October 8th, 2017, 03:19 AM

Thanks. Just a bit confused how to run the uninstaller. All I see is NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-387.12.run
Is there a default 'uninstall' command or should there be an uninstall option if I try and run the above installer again?

Bashing-om

October 8th, 2017, 03:37 AM

ubuntini2; Huumm ..

As you have attempted to remove the OEM driver, I do not know how effective this will be.
Try:

cd Downloads
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-387.12.run --uninstall

Depending on this result is what we do next .

EFI system ? Secure boot ? Make sure secure boot is disabled to allow the 3rd party driver install !
If we can get the proprietary driver uninstalled, will also want to do:

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt purge nvidia-*
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

And again I do not know how mate-optimus will play .

look'n for a way forward

ubuntini2

October 8th, 2017, 03:45 AM

Thanks
Did a sudo sh
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-387.12.run -uninstall

And then used Software & Updates to reinstall my previous working driver
Rebooted and good to go

only remaining issue is that I have lost my custom fan settings in NVIDIA XServer software. DOn't recall if this has something to do with Coolbits or??
