    No he did not use different naming....I've sent Daniel a email, letting him know about this:
    But for now I've kind of cheated here, so please now run:
    Code:
    sudoedit '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/dtl131-ubuntu-nvidiaexp-noble.sources'
    And change the line "Suites: noble" to "Suites: jammy' ie:
    Code:
    URIs: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/dtl131/nvidiaexp/ubuntu/
    Suites: jammy
    Components: main
    Signed-By:
    Now run
    Code:
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 nvidia-dkms-390
    Code:
    apt policy nvidia-dkms-390 nvidia-driver-390
    nvidia-dkms-390:
      Installed: (none)
      Candidate: 390.157-0ubuntu9~nvidiaexp4
      Version table:
         390.157-0ubuntu9~nvidiaexp4 500
            500 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/dtl131/nvidiaexp/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
    nvidia-driver-390:
      Installed: (none)
      Candidate: 390.157-0ubuntu9~nvidiaexp4
      Version table:

    Re: Need help with installing the graphics driver

    Okay, so I've made the change and it installed. This is the command output now:

    Code:
    nvidia-dkms-390:
      Installed: 390.157-0ubuntu9~nvidiaexp4
      Candidate: 390.157-0ubuntu9~nvidiaexp4
      Version table:
     *** 390.157-0ubuntu9~nvidiaexp4 500
            500 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/dtl131/nvidiaexp/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
    nvidia-driver-390:
      Installed: 390.157-0ubuntu9~nvidiaexp4

            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
    EDIT: After a reboot I only see a black screen.

    I'm afraid to say that driver might only work on 22.04 and not 24.04.

    At boot select Advanced Option and drop to root shell and remove the driver.
    Code:
    sudo apt autoremove --purge nvidia*
    And reboot.

    You may need to look at Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, for a lighter DE.

    Re: Need help with installing the graphics driver

    Oh ok, so if I install Xubuntu, will the driver work?

    I'm doing that now, just to save us both time. (and frustration)

    Will reply when I'm finished.

    Right now I'm always on an unsupported system and using newer kernels and drivers:

    Is that with the PPA?
    I'd assume jammy could run fine if you use the GA kernel instead of the HWE kernel.
    Since the GA kernel is 5.15.

    Yes with the PPA, and Xubuntu 22.04.
    I found it worked on all kernels 6.26 thru 6.8.0-40-generic.

    apt policy nvidia-driver-390

    I was tied up with him for few hours yesterday, and is working on kernel 6.10, I was the only sucker using kernel 6.10 currently.
    PLEASE DON'T USE>>>kernel 6.10 yet, it will fail.

    BTW: I forgot to mention the "ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa" 390 will only work on kernel 6.2
