    nVidia driver half-working, LUbuntu 17.10

    This is a laptop with nVidia Geforce GTX 960m.
    nvidia drivers 304, 331, and 340 all sort of half-work. The stock driver is slower (presumably noveau or however they spell that). nvidia drivers 361, 375, 346, 352, 384 all seem to just not work whatsoever. So I concluded 340 is the one I should be using.


    However, glxgears complains that GLX is missing.


    I've also tried this "bumblebee" program that tries to juggle between the integrated Intel HD driver and the nVidia driver, but my system hard-locks when I try to load X with it (even Alt+SysRQ+B won't work at that point).


    I just moved over from XUbuntu and things were working fine with one of the nvidia drivers. So I'm not sure what the heck is going on here but I'm at wits end.


    I've googled this for a while, but here I am. Any advice is greatly appreciated!


    Code:
    antic@antic-Inspiron-7559:~$ glxgears 
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

    Re: nVidia driver half-working, LUbuntu 17.10

    zeroth404; Hello;

    The correct driver for your nvidia card is the 384 version:
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/drive...x/128737/en-us

    Let's clean up and have the system install the driver(s).
    * Disable secure boot in bios ! *
    Code:
    sudo apt purge nvidia
sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
sudo apt autoremove
dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P
sudo apt update
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
    reboot to see the effect .

    What we do not know is the state of the Intel side - a tale will be told.

    all in the process
    THE current(cy) in Documentation:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages

    Happy ubuntu'n !

    Re: nVidia driver half-working, LUbuntu 17.10

    Still no GLX after reboot.

    Also, the video refresh rate is sluggish again like when I was using noveau.
    Code:

    Re: nVidia driver half-working, LUbuntu 17.10

    zeroth404; Ouch !

    We have:
    Error: can't access /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/driver
    The device is not bound to any driver. Skipping...
    I do not have a 17.10 install as a reference to know; but what have we ?
    Code:
    ls -al /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0
    Start down a rabbit hole ??

    Be aware in my 16.04 install I have:
    sysop@x1604:~/Desktop$ ls -al /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 11 19:22 /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0f.0/0000:06:00.0
    sysop@x1604:~/Desktop$
    As to a fix -
    just do not know, yet

    Re: nVidia driver half-working, LUbuntu 17.10

    zeroth404; OK ..

    Let's see where this rabbit hole leads to:
    Code:
    ls -al /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:02.0/driver
    my 16.04 result:
    sysop@x1604:~$ ls -al /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0/driver
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 12 16:54 /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:06:00.0/driver -> ../../../../bus/pci/drivers/nvidia
    where I get even deeper - let's see how deep you get and where it all ends.

    inquiring minds want to know
