| Bashing-om | rossenburg: A driver conflict? What shows ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ? | 01:53 |
| rossenburg | sorry i got disconnected Bashing-om, can you resend your reply? | 02:06 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: "Bashing-om> rossenburg: A driver conflict? What shows ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ?" | 02:07 |
| rossenburg | rossenburg@rossentech:~$ ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia : command not found | 02:08 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: IF you can not boot to a terminaL: | 02:12 |
| Bashing-om | !nomodeset| rossenburg | 02:12 |
| ubottu | rossenburg: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 02:12 |
| rossenburg | okay, was using ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS..the issue is i was seeing screen flikering anytime i move the mouse pointer and some kind of blur text...but it doesnt come when i add nomodeset in the grub config...that was solved by then found another solution that i was to create a file and name if xorg.config at /etc/X11/ ..and insert section "device" blah | 02:18 |
| rossenburg | blah ..that one too worked..but looks like that wasnt my problem..my problem is to be able to install a graphic driver in other to play a certain game so i switched to xubuntu and same things are happening | 02:18 |

| Bashing-om | rossenburg: 340 version ^^ driver needed, that is in the repo, How have you attempted to install the driver ? | 02:30 |
| rossenburg | Additional drivers option alaways tells me to download nvidia-340, if i download it and install it...i will be asked to reboot, if i reboot it will just show Xunbuntu bootloader but in a very big text font than normal, then after it loads the screen will just be splashed with "colors", i dunno some sort of lines or something like a frozen system | 02:32 |
| rossenburg | after some secs it will just disappear and i will be seeing blank screen tho the monitor is on..but no logo page will appear, nothing | 02:33 |
| rossenburg | i intentionally left it for more than 3hrs and it was still the same :( | 02:33 |
| rossenburg | login* | 02:35 |

| rossenburg | did i missed reply please? the system started flickering again so i had to restart | 02:53 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: No missed messages. I had expected that notebook to also have Intel graphics, How about we clean the system up and try once more to insyall a driver ? | 02:56 |
| rossenburg | sure! anything that will make things work, im in | 02:57 |
| rossenburg | right now the screen is flickering so im following https://askubuntu.com/questions/1062031/screen-flickering-in-ubuntu-18-04-1-lts | 02:58 |

| rossenburg | no, im being asked to download some files | 03:00 |
| rossenburg | should i proceed? | 03:01 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: NAw .. when we install the nvidia driver, dkms will be picked up (should) as a dependency. What have you for nvidia in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory ? | 03:03 |

| rossenburg | theres no nvdia config file in there, the only files in there is what i just typed | 03:07 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: Good -now /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Any nvidia files there? | 03:15 |
| rossenburg | theres no folder named xorg.conf | 03:16 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: Again good - no /etc/X11/xorg.conf.deither ? | 03:19 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: Again good - no /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d either ? | 03:19 |
| rossenburg | yes no xorg.conf.d too | 03:19 |
| Bashing-om | rossenburg: Hokay -let's see what happens // make sure secure boot is disabled in bios // run: ' sudo apt --purge nvidia* ; sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall '. IF no errors reported, reboot to see the effect. | 03:23 |
| rossenburg | ok done with the downloading, Bashing-om, about to restart but incase the same prob pops up..can i run sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* ? | 03:41 |
| rossenburg | dpkg: error: version '-' has bad syntax: revision number is emptydpkg: error: version '-' has bad syntax: revision number is emptymeans anything? in the installation of nvidia | 03:42 |

| Bashing-om | rossenburg: Beats me why it did not purge. See: ' apt show libcuda1-340'. Maybe consider removing it manually ? | 04:18 |
| rossenburg | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/M3yXHpy6Hr/ | 04:20 |
