| pking123 | I have problems with nvidia driver. I have a geforce gtx 1660, and the nvidia-settings command gives a blank window. | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| pking123 | I just installed Ubuntu studio 20.04 | 00:29 |
| Eickmeyer | pking123: I'll test on mine real quick, but I haven't experienced that problem (gtx 1650 here, so not much different). | 00:30 |
| Eickmeyer | I'm currently in a different OS. Hang on.... | 00:30 |
| Eickmeyer | pking123: No issues here. Did you install the nvidia drivers from the nvidia site or from Software & Updates > Additional Drivers? | 00:37 |
| pking123 | I went through the "Software" installer and found nvidia-settings there. | 00:39 |
| pking123 | I also attempted to do a manual install of the latest downloaded driver. | 00:39 |
| Eickmeyer | Check Software & Updates and make sure you're using the Nvidia drivers recommended there. | 00:40 |
| pking123 | Both led to the same result | 00:40 |
| pking123 | Doing that now | 00:40 |
| Eickmeyer | If you installed the driver manually, that might be the problem. It's very easy to install the wrong driver for Nvidia. | 00:41 |
| Eickmeyer | !nvidia | pking123: This is the recommended method | 00:41 |
| ubottu | pking123: This is the recommended method: For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » For the latest Nvidia drivers see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 00:41 |
| pking123 | I am currently downloading the latest through software&updates. | 00:42 |
| Eickmeyer | Ok. That might fix your issue. | 00:42 |
| Eickmeyer | Just remember: Ubuntu tries to make it easy. Don't overcomplicate it. :) | 00:43 |
| pking123 | I am being asked for a Secure Boot password. I don't recall setting a password in the BIOS. | 00:44 |
| pking123 | My mother board is using UEFI, btw | 00:44 |
| Eickmeyer | That's for you to set. It will ask for that password after you reboot just one time. | 00:44 |
| Eickmeyer | I don't own a non-UEFI computer. | 00:45 |
| Eickmeyer | This is simply for registering the Nvidia driver with the kernel so that Secure Boot doesn't freak out. | 00:45 |
| pking123 | Still waiting | 00:46 |
| Eickmeyer | Did you create a password in that dialog? | 00:46 |
| pking123 | It was using the XORG driver by default, despite all my installation attempts | 00:46 |
| pking123 | Yes, a password was created. | 00:47 |
| Eickmeyer | Then that's why. You were trying the hard way when Ubuntu provides a much easier way. | 00:47 |
| Eickmeyer | It will ask for that password when you reboot (just once), so make sure you remember it. | 00:48 |
| pking123 | So I guess I will need to reboot to find out how I did; | 00:48 |
| Eickmeyer | Yep. | 00:48 |
| pking123 | I know the password | 00:48 |
| Eickmeyer | Good. | 00:48 |
| pking123 | BRB | 00:48 |
| Eickmeyer | k | 00:48 |
| paul78 | I am back Eickmeyer, but I while the driver is loaded, I noticed a ton of errors at boot-up, and have now lost decent screen resolution. The nvidia-settings still doesn't work, and so I think since I just reinstalled Ubuntu today, I will just try again, and go through software settings like last time | 00:57 |
| paul78 | Thanks for your awesome help and advice | 00:57 |
| overit | does not resume from suspend after upgrade. blank screen flashes a few times. | 02:43 |
| overit | these disposable OS's are all the same: fall apart at the seams and have to reinstall several times per year. | 02:46 |
| Eickmeyer | ^ Gah! Why am I even doing this?!?!?!? /s | 03:02 |
| oerheks | Oke, let me explain it once more .. | 03:08 |
| Eickmeyer | XD | 03:08 |
| oerheks | it was your choice, a bit forced, true. | 03:09 |
