| Paddy_NI | Hello I am running Ubuntu Server on a PC with an Nvidia GT 1030 Graphics card. One of the issues I had noted through owning this card (on Ubuntu Desktop) the GPU driver that was auto selected was wrong/bugged. Terrible resolution and at times would fail to fully boot. I had a little bit of an absent mind whilst installing Ubuntu Server 22.04 on this PC and it auto installed the wrong driver | 11:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Paddy_NI | again. Now the server has a poor resolution. I remember it being fixable by just removing the nvidia driver I think via "sudo apt purge nvidia-*" rebooting and installing an older version of the driver from the repos. | 11:00 |
| Paddy_NI | I am just wondering what package I should install via apt that would pull down all the necessary bits | 11:00 |
| Paddy_NI | Not specifically which driver version but the correct "meta" package? | 11:00 |
| oerheks | 381 should work, also 470 | 11:02 |
| Paddy_NI | oerheks: Yes I think it was 470. I am just not quite sure which package I should install. :-) | 11:03 |
| oerheks | sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall should do the right one? | 11:03 |
| oerheks | sudo ubuntu-drivers list | 11:03 |
| oerheks | then the 470 package given.. | 11:03 |
| oerheks | you might want to turn off secureboot... | 11:04 |
| Paddy_NI | oerheks: I have that off as it causes some odd issues | 11:04 |
| oerheks | oke | 11:05 |
| Paddy_NI | oerheks: Hmm... It says "all the available drivers are already installed" | 11:06 |
| Paddy_NI | Confused lol | 11:06 |
| Paddy_NI | I managed to flamethrower refresh my face last night opening the little door of my bbq lol | 11:06 |
| Paddy_NI | I just did "sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470-server" | 11:12 |
| Paddy_NI | I think it removed and installed everything it needed to. | 11:12 |
| Paddy_NI | I would I check hardware acceleration via the cli? | 11:12 |
| Paddy_NI | This server will be headless | 11:12 |
| oerheks | install mesa-utils; glxgears -info | 11:13 |
| oerheks | or just glxgears | 11:14 |
| oerheks | glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" # should answer; direct rendering: Yes | 11:14 |
| Paddy_NI | Error: unable to open display | 11:15 |
| Paddy_NI | The cli resolution is bad again since installing the other nvidia 470 driver. When I removed the previously wrong driver the resolution matched my display. I am assuming its the nouveau driver that gets the resolution correct but minus the acceleration | 11:16 |
| oerheks | did you reboot after installing? | 11:22 |
| Paddy_NI | Oh yes of course :-) | 11:29 |
| oerheks | so you are on server, not desktop | 11:30 |
| oerheks | ? | 11:30 |
| Paddy_NI | I have said that :-) | 11:30 |
| oerheks | i think you need to start the desktop .. | 11:31 |
| Paddy_NI | I am pretty certain I don't. I do appreciate your help oerheks | 11:31 |
