16.04 GT 710 Graphics card (gigabyte)-cant find driver

[psyclone]

Hi,
I've just installed a new graphics card Gigabyte GT710. I've searched the Nvidia site, and have installed (in tern) 340 & 384 Nvidia drivers. Desktop is running-but I have the lowest possible resolution without the option to select the preferred res of 1920×1080. Which Nvidia driver would better suit? Also I've have installed using the ppa repository.

Thanks,

[Bashing-om]

psyclone; Hey -

I run that same card on 16.04 ( Abit platform ) with no proprietary driver issues .
Show us what you presently have installed:


sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*"
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia*

see what we have to cleanup and then install the proper driver :
My use case:

Looks like you have both 340 & 387 installed.
You have to totally purge one install before installing another.

Updated driver search by nVidia model, do not download, just check correct driver version
http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Looks like it still uses the newest or 384 series.
Did you get 387 from ppa?


If you have installed any version, you must purge first, old will conflict with new as new install does not overwrite old version.
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
sudo apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee primus bbswitch-dkms
This xorg file may not exist, so if error that would be ok
sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup


sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
If you just want default version - recommended one
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Or you can manually choose any in list.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-XXX

[psyclone]

Hi, Thanks for your post.
Yes I installed drivers using ppa. I'll try purging all nvidia drivers and let you know.

Hi,
Thanks again for your post. But I ran the following (below), but the problem still persists i.e. I can't increase the resolution. Before installing the 384 driver from ppa repository, I checked to see if all the Nvidia components were removed: and they were. So the 384 drive is only driver installed currently. I'm running dvi lead to monitor, does that matter?

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
sudo apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee primus bbswitch-dkms

psyclonel Well ! Not -

That do tell the tale that the nvidia graphic's module (driver) is not loaded .
The question now is why not ?

OK, is this a EFI system ? and if so we will require that 'secure boot ' be disabled in the bios ( firmware ) settings. Confirm the state of ' secure boot ' and we continue to troubleshoot .


Confirm at this time also that the system sees the hardware and it is identified:

[psyclone]

Thanks for your patience. The 'boot security settings' only has the option(s) to set two type of passwords, none of which are currently set. I'm not sure if that answers your question about the 'efi system' though.

Really strange that the module for nvidia is not available .
Show me :

sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*"


Let's see if EFI is a factor and if OEM plays a part .

With this knowledge, we see where we go to next .

[oldfred]

You show the .run files downloaded from nVidia directly. We generally do not recommend those files as you have to reinstall (in effect) with each new kernel update. It is not fully integrated into Ubuntu.
How you uninstall those is different, but I do not know procedure. But they also have to be uninstalled to avoid conflicts.

You generally install nVidia from Ubuntu repository. You may have to boot with nomodeset option and can use System Settings, Software & updates & drivers tab.
Or you can install from command line.
If a very new card, you can get very new nVidia drivers from the ppa which are reconfigured for Ubuntu.

You at end want only one nVidia driver that is correct version for your card.
Any additional nVidia driver does not uninstall previous version and creates conflicts.

[Bashing-om]

psyclone; Uh Huh ....

See and heed oldfred's last .

per nvidia:


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.


Let's try this:


cd Downloads
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run --uninstall
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.104.run --uninstall
cd


We must also remove the 381 driver that is in trash - properly . Presently I do not know how we are going to accomplish this feat.

Show us what is :
post back the result of terminal command:


ls -al home/e2-desktop/.local/share/Trash/files/

and maybe I can get a better handle on what we have to deal with.

get all cleaned up and then install the driver from our repo as per nvidia's instruction.



there is a way that seems right - but



leads to a broken system

[psyclone]

Hi,
Thank you both for your assistance and patience.
But can I say-when executing the following commands the syntax is incorrect and running without 'sudo' permission is denied.



:~/Downloads$ sudo .NVIDIA-Linus-x86_64-384.98.run --uninstall
sudo: /NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.98.run: command not found


But given that. Can't I simply delete these drivers manually through the 'Downloads' folder? Also, just because I've downloaded the driver from Nvidia's site, that doesn't mean that these drivers are all installed? And I purged all Nvidia Drivers before my latest install of the 384.98 driver. But I can run purge again and show result?

[Bashing-om]

psyclone' yepper -

You are correct in that it is 'sudo'.

invalid as you have a typo.
Linus-
Linux-x86_64-384.98.run

And I must be assured that all vestiges of the OEM install are gone prior to doing else .

psyclone; Hummmmm ....

curious and curiousier - the files are there and the command is valid IF your (p)resent (w)orking (d)irectory is Downloads - which it is.
the " ./" is shorthand for " this directory right here" .


Maybe try as:


sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.104.run --uninstall


if it runs repeat for the other 2 versions .



sometimes I do wonder

[psyclone]

It's still not working. 'command not found' Do you have any other ideas?

The 'command not found' its the 'run' command? [or a command that runs the driver]

Or is it uninstall? or either?

[Bashing-om]

psyclone; sorry -

typo on my part : should be as:


sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.104.run --uninstall




hate when that happens

[psyclone]

I noticed the typo, it doesn't work. when replacing the forward slash.

[Bashing-om]

psyclone; Hey ...

I do not know what I can say here to aid .
https://askubuntu.com/questions/219942/how-to-uninstall-manually-installed-nvidia-drivers
confirms the process is valid - unless something has changed in later releases that I am unaware of .



sometimes I do wonder

[psyclone]

Maybe the command wont run because the drivers aren't installed, there just downloaded to folder?

[Bashing-om]

psyclone; Well.

Yeah .. I can accept that if there is nothing installed, there is nothing then to UNinstall.

What shows:


lsmod | grep nvidia
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia


Make sure we are clean.



then .......

Got the thought that this is a recent machine - EFI ? and that secure boot is enabled.
Can you check that in bios and if so, set it to disabled and we continue .

my little mind -


one thing at a time

[psyclone]

Going back to post #13, I responded to a similar query (see below) does that answer your question? I'm not sure how to determine if it (my desktop) even has secure boot. I don't think it has-because I can't see any option under security to turn off.

Sorry Bashing-om, no good. it doesn't work. The only difference; it's replace all the Nvidia-384 components with Nvidia-387 components of the driver(s). But I still got 640x400 res on screen.

psyclone; Yuk -

As you can also see, the module (driver) is not building .

Above my skill set to know different than secure boot preventing it .

Maybe the kernel header files missing .. perhaps ?

What shows:


dpkg -l | grep linux-




just do not know

psyclone; Ah Haw !

No header files to tell the kernel how to build the graphic's module !

what kernel are you presently booting - where I expect the -91 kernel version -?


uname -r


You are way out of date, also:


sysop@x1604:~$ uname -r
4.4.0-104-generic
sysop@x1604:~$


Let's see the result of:


sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-generic
sudo apt full-upgrade

where I expect that linux-image-generic and linux-headers-generic will also be pulled in as dependencies. Else, we got more work to do.
Reboot - and now what kernel are you booting ?

If this runs clean. and we get the driver to build - then we have a bit of clean up to do.




on the right path now

[psyclone]

My friend you did it. thank-you for your persistence time and effort.

a bit of clean up .. those files from the dpkg output marked "rc" ( -r-emoved but -c-onfig files remain).
Run:


dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P

While there is no built in way to remove all of your configuration information from your removed packages you can remove all configuration data from every removed package. To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, where The state is rc, the package is removed, but the config files are not removed....



happy trails to you

[psyclone]

The last cleanup step is important, because without it I was getting a "OpenGL unsupported." So thank-you for your help!



dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P

psyclone; :)

if i run *sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-** on a dual book thinkpad that has a nvidia quadro p4000 card, will it affect the other installation windows 10?
the problem i have with dkpg freezing on apt update is beyond my brain cells.

here is what i got with the following command, if it helps at all. any solution to get my ubuntustudio 18.4 tuned and working would be so great. ty in advance ubuntu hive mind.
