proprietary drivers not showing up

[roomboy]

Currently running 390 (proprietary) Would like to be able to update to 396 (proprietary). but it is only showing up as (open source)

I have followed a few online tutorials as to install Proprietary drivers, But it never works.

[CatKiller]

The proprietary drivers installed from the PPA are listed as open source for some reason, even though they aren't. Ignore that part of the description.

[roomboy]

I installed the new driver, and now the game Im trying to run on Steam Play fails to join server. it freezes up. If I go back to the 390 driver, the game loads and runs.
The game, War of Rights was released after the Valve release/+support for linux (Steam Play).

[roomboy]

Im currently using ppa:graphics-drivers/dev , ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers/dev/ubuntu bionic

https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/dev

When I tried another PPA for drivers, I received 4 different options. All 4 drivers failed to work on my game. all open source. The only driver that allows me to play is 390 proprietary. I heard that having the 396 driver is the best one to date for Steam while gaming with Linux. it's not working. But I want to get it to work.

roomboy; Hello - Welcome to the forum.

What release is this ?
and
what card ?
show us - between code tags - the output of terminal command:


lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga

code tag tutorial:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171721&p=12776168#post12776168

And verify there are no driver conflicts:


dpkg -l | grep nvidia



we see where we go from here

Thank you :)
I switched from windows to Linux this past year. I really want to make a go at it. all of my friends keep telling me to just stop and re-install windows.
Never Again!

roomboy; Uh Huh ...

There is a driver conflict:


ii libnvidia-common-396 396.54.09-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1 all Shared files used by the NVIDIA libraries
ii libnvidia-compute-390:amd64 390.77-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 NVIDIA libcompute package

ii nvidia-settings 415.25-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1 amd64 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

where that leading 'ii' is desired state= (i)nstalled and the status = (i)nstalled.

Let's clean things up and give it a whirl for the system to choose the correct driver in install.
Run terminal commands:


sudo apt remove --purge nvidia*
dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

rc:
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.

Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.

Now what is the status ?



ain't nothing but a thing

[roomboy]

did everything. Computer rebooted and running the open source 396 driver. game freezes at loading. 390 proprietary is still available as an option, which I know will work with it.

When I switch back to 390, a bunch of error popups, pop up. but the game works.

[Bashing-om]

roomboy; Well -

Show us the errors :)

Is the GPU manager happy ?
Post back:

I have a similar problem. Freshly install Ubunto 18.10 Desktop and the system does not see the internal Video or a USB based video. I used the commands (as mentioned above):

sudo apt remove --purge nvidia*
dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Response: "No drivers found for automatic installation"

Any help?
Thanks! Gert Kruger

hgkrug1; Hello -



Response: "No drivers found for automatic installation"


Are we looking at Intel/AMD graphics, as these are provided in the kernel ?

Please show is what we are working with:


lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d'


See where we go from here.

[roomboy]

I have Ubuntu 18.04, my GPU is recognized, along with the internal Video or a USB based video.
There is no )proprietary) driver for 396. Only (opensource).

All of my drivers do show up when I load their PPA. There is only one that shows up as (proprietary). the most recent one is (opensource), and doesn't work with my game. I just want to play it.

[hgkrug1]

I worked on this ubuntu 18.10 for several weeks (several updates). When I tried again:

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

It worked, but after reboot my system was completely jammed. No Desktop etc. I had to reinstall.

I have now upgraded to 19.04 and will test it.

[hgkrug1]

Same problem with Ubuntu 19.04. After "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" the system is busted. I have a Dell Vostro 3670 PC with the following deatils:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz;
Motherboard: Dell Ince OV8F20;
12 GB RAM;
NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] [10de:1c81] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]);

[hgkrug1]

I see this is issue described at https://medium.com/datadriveninvestor/install-tensorflow-gpu-to-use-nvidia-gpu-on-ubuntu-18-04-do-ai-71b0ce64ebc5 with a potential solution if the logon does not work after reboot.

[hgkrug1]

I found several proposed solutions for this issue to install the Nvidia drivers. None of them work for me. I found 2 methods that enable you to recover the Desktop environment when this happens:

First by Fossfreedom at - https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/nvidia-390-black-screen/97/14

You have to do a safe boot and go to root, then:
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-*
sudo apt install nvidia-prime
sudo prime-select intel

Then reboot.

Second form sgian entry #3 at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2399985

Also do a safe boot and go to root. Then:

sudo apt purge nvidia*
sudo apt install --reinstall xorg xserver-xorg-core

Tten reboot.

[hgkrug1]

I found a solution for this Nvidia driver issue (on ubuntu 18 and 19). See instructions at the top at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread....nvidia+drivers (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2419319&highlight=nvidia+drivers), it worked for me!

Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the installation on a freshly installed system.

However, I found a suitable fix at entry #19 of https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1798790

Try this as a workaround: edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
and uncomment the line:
#WaylandEnable=false
