First Cup of Ubuntu
Hello, I am running pop os 20.04 and have had issues with steam play ever since moving to the 460 Nvidia drivers. Is there a simple way of moving back to an older driver such as the 450. There are known issues with the 460 and some games and prior to moving to it, every game on steam play worked like a dream, so would like to reverse back to the 450 drivers.
<--- Run xman to see that window.
If the drivers are in the repo, just remove the new ones, install the older ones and put a "hold" on the one you want to keep using synaptic or apt-mark.
Drivers are tied to the kernel version, so expect breakage.

open additional drivers and install the version you want.
Read the easy to understand, lots of pics Ubuntu manual.
Do i need antivirus/firewall in linux?
Full disk backup (newer kernel -> suitable for newer PC): Clonezilla
User friendly full disk backup: Rescuezilla

Ubuntu addict and loving it
Or you can upgrade to 470 https://launchpad.net/~graphics-driv...ive/ubuntu/ppa
BTW How did you install 460 and how did steam break? The driver from Nvidia's cuda repo does not support 32 bit and hence steam breaks. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/ste...ux/issues/5778
If this is the same issue then just have to install driver from sources other than the cuda repo (ppa above or Ubuntu's standard repo or system76's ppa, and last, though not recommended, Nvidia's run file) Cuda can be installed separately from the local installer (without sudo and without installing the driver)

Thread moved to Ubuntu/Debian BASED, as the OS isn't Ubuntu or a flavour.
BACKUPS are unsexy — until you discover you should have done one yesterday.
Spare your nerves and do one before you upgrade or install.

Hi. I am having a similar issue.
My PC has a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 graphics card, and the only way to not being stuck with 640 x 480 resolution was to uninstall nvidia-driver-470 and install 390, However, even holding that package with synaptics, after doing an upgrade of the system, it keeps the driver but it locks again to 640 x 480.
I managed to do a backup of the system and somehow restore it under 640 x 480 without seeing the buttons, however I need to do a selective upgrade to locate which package is the one breacking the old driver.
Is there a way to do a selective upgrade instead of a full upgrade?
Thanks for reading.
