Nvidia GEForce GT 610 installed via additional drivers changed the default color to blue

  • 772

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 LTS - 64 bit along side Windows 10. When the default nouveau driver was used for my graphics card..the color was purple - default color of Ubuntu Linux. When i went to additional drivers and installed the propitiatory but tested driver for my graphics card(Nvidia GEForce GT 610) - during install, apply and after restart the color has been changed to cobalt blue NOT purple. enter image description here

If i use the last driver Nouveau - it turns back to default purple color.

This is how the desktop looks like - cobalt blue.

Any idea - how to fix this? Thanks for advance.

As per the nvidia website -361 is the latest driver for this graphics card enter image description here

Update

After 2-3 times restart this issue got resolved on it's own. I am getting the default purple kind of wallpaper with no cobalt blue kind of colors/shades. No change required on the nvidia-361 driver. enter image description here

  1. You might want to enable the graphics-drivers ppa on your system that contains the NVIDIA drivers:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update

    Then you should have listings all the way up to 367.18 (Open Source) drivers. Seems to be working great for me.

    Hope this helps!
