[14:31] <sem> tomreyn: hey let me know if I'm muddying the waters... Might be better if I don't confuse things
[14:31] <tomreyn> sem: i'm glad you're helping, too, thanks
[14:33] <sem> Glad to hear it :)
[14:54] <tomreyn> sem: hope you don't mind me pushing it over to you? i want to have some food and i think you'll be able to help them just fine.
[14:54] <sem> Not at all! 
[14:55] <sem> If it's more complicate than sudo ubuntu-drivers install I'll run into trouble though
[14:55] <tomreyn> cool, thanks. personally, i'd just try   sudo ubuntu-drivers install     (so try the autoinstall) and hope this selects the right driver series and it just works after reboot
[14:56] <tomreyn> if this would not work i'd have them    sudo apt purge nvidia*   again and then find out which GPU they actually have: lspci -knnd ::0300 | nc termbin.com 9999 
[14:57] <tomreyn> and then check the nvidia website to try to understand which driver series they recommend for this very model (which is a pain)
[14:57] <tomreyn> and then have them install that very series
[14:57] <tomreyn> so, for example:   sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:535
[14:58] <tomreyn> good luck, bbl
[15:01] <tomreyn> you can have them run     export LANG=en_US.UTF-8    or just   export LANG=    to get english output, i would think
[15:37] <sem> lspci isn't showing his nvidia card. At this point I suspect hardware but advised him to try lspci on the live usb and possibly reinstall if that works
[17:19] <tomreyn> sem: sorry, the command i provided would only list the first gpu. you could have used     lspci -nn | nc termbin.com 9999    instead, this would show all pci devices
[17:40] <sem> Oh well
[17:42] <sem> I almost asked him to run lspci | grep nvidia just in case because I didn't know what those lspci flags do. But at that point I forged ahead
[17:43] <sem> I thought he would share the termbin link but he didn't
[17:56] <tomreyn> thanks for taking over, though
