Install driver Nvidia 304 with software updater ubuntu 18.04

  • 772

I need to install the nvidia 304 driver. None of the methods on the Internet worked. Could install only through software updater. Reinstalled ubuntu. Now I see driver but for some reason it is not installed. Could this be due to permission ?

  1. The nvidia-304 is not available from official repositories of 18.04 LTS.

    You can try to add “Graphics Drivers” team PPA to your system first:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-304

    On my system it fails with dependency issue (xorg-video-abi-23), so I have e-mailed to PPA owners to get the fix.
