5 Cups of Ubuntu
Hello,
I just buy a HP:
https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0743B9YWJ/...395771_TE_dp_1
So I have a NVIDIA GTX 1050, and I try to install the driver.
I go to the sofware_property and I try the 4 drivers allow but they don't work. The disponibled drivers are 378/381/384 and 387.
How can I make the driver work properly?

xavier12358; Hello;
Can not tell from the info provided what the problem may be.
What have we to work with ?
post back - between code tags - the outputs of terminal commands:
code tag tutorial:Code:dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log

see then
what there is to do

You may need newest, but if you attempted to install more than one, without purging older one first, you will have issues.
New install of driver, does not uninstall/purge older driver and you get conflicts.
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
# Shows standard repository versions, which is the same as

Instructions are newest driver for newest cards, must load legacy driver if old nVidia card.

@oldfred I have already install the package to get more drivers, this is the reason why I have 4 drivers disponibles. But the 4 don't work.
And when I start nvidia-settings:
Code:nvidia-settings ERROR: Error querying enabled displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension). ERROR: Error querying connected displays on GPU 0 (Missing Extension). ** Message: PRIME: No offloading required. Abort ** Message: PRIME: is it supported? no ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file should have been installed along with this driver at /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation. The application profiles will continue to work, but values cannot be prepopulated or validated, and will not be listed in the help text. Please see the README for possible values and descriptions.

xavier12358; Yuk.
The output of the log file raises more questions than it answers.
post back:
I will not be surprised if the xorg.conf file does not exist .Code:lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
But. let us know what the hardware is and what the system expects.
we can do that

xavier12358; confirmed;
we do have hybrid graphics - nvidia/Intel .
Got to be a reason that the driver fails to install. How about that this is a EFI system, and in that case one must disable secure boot in bios ?
Try again as
disable secure boot in the firmware settings;
boot into the ubuntu install and now run:
where we have the system choose the driver .Code:sudo apt purge nvidia* sudo apt update sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall sudo apt full-upgrade
reboot for the new driver to take effect
all better now ?

YESSSSS!!! You made it.
The card is properly recongnized with driver 387. Thanks a lot.

xavier12358; Outstanding !
Was the issue secure boot related ?
inquiring minds want to know

I think it comes from the way I purge and reinstall the driver .
The secure boot was already disable
