I'm trying to install drivers for my Wifi on my HP All-in-one desktop. I've been told to show the output of the command "sudo lshw -C network" so here it is:

I've installed Ubuntu 17.10 on the Xiaomi Notebook Ari 13'3 but I couldn't get the fingerprint function running for logon. The Fingerprint GUI sees no device at all. Maybe there are necessary drivers for the Xiaomi Fingerprint sensor?

Here's the output (partial) of lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0a2b Intel Corp.

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and I can't get it to recognize Libdvdcss2, which is downloaded to the download file. There I clicked on the bz2 file and it opened to give me a nice neat package that doesn't work. What do I need to do or try. Keep in mind I am a newbie.

I would like to verify what driver is used currently for NVIDIA and then switch the driver to nvidia-331-updates if necessary.

How do I accomplish that?

sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000FFBsv00001462sd000010DBbc03sc00i00
model    : GK107GLM [Quadro K2000M]
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
driver   : nvidia-331-updates - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-304 - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-304-updates - distro non-free
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

sudo ubuntu-drivers list
nvidia-304
nvidia-331
nvidia-331-updates
nvidia-304-updates

(I tried sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall and sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall nvidia-331-updates - desperatly, in lack of a useful help text - to no avail)

A similar question has been asked recently (How do you use ubuntu-drivers-common or software-properties in the command line to change graphics drivers?) but the asker accepted an answer which doesn't really answer the question. That's why I want to give it another try.

The reason why I am interested in this in the first place is because after fiddling around trying to set up a second monitor suddenly the graphical "additional drivers"-tool stopped working.
