[11:00] <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?
[11:02] <oerheks> 381 should work, also 470
[11:03] <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..
[11:04] <oerheks> you might want to turn off secureboot...
[11:04] <Paddy_NI> oerheks: I have that off as it causes some odd issues
[11:05] <oerheks> oke
[11:06] <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
[11:12] <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
[11:13] <oerheks> install mesa-utils; glxgears -info
[11:14] <oerheks> or just glxgears
[11:14] <oerheks> glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"  # should answer; direct rendering: Yes
[11:15] <Paddy_NI> Error: unable to open display
[11:16] <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
[11:22] <oerheks> did you reboot after installing?
[11:29] <Paddy_NI> Oh yes of course :-)
[11:30] <oerheks> so you are on server, not desktop 
[11:30] <oerheks> ?
[11:30] <Paddy_NI> I have said that :-)
[11:31] <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
