| Elliria | Hey there. I installed Kubuntu 24.04 LTS onto a new computer today and it's using Nouveau video drivers. I've got an NVIDIA card. The installer didn't offer to manage my NVIDIA drivers for me like it used to, so I'm not sure what to pick in the Driver Manager. Here are my settings. Any help would be appreciated: https://imgur.com/F5WLO17 | 16:51 |
| Elliria | I'll ask this in the Ubuntu channel as well since the drivers are the same there. | 16:55 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Hohtava> Hmm, I can help you with this. Probably a good time for me to refresh my gpu driver info as well | 16:56 |
| Elliria | Ah, good. | 16:56 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Hohtava> Open kernel seems to mean that there's an open source component from nvidia for the kernel which is used to communicate with the actual driver which seems to be closed source. | 16:58 |
| Elliria | Yeah, I don't understand how to choose among the options. | 16:59 |
| Elliria | I liked it better when Kubuntu just took care of it for me. | 17:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Hohtava> The first one in the menu should be good. The nvidia open kernel metapackage 580-open | 17:01 |
| Elliria | Cool. If I choose that one, will Kubuntu do updates on it automatically as part of the system updates or will I have to climb into the Driver Manager from time to time (like after getting a new kernel) to update it? | 17:02 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Hohtava> I think that depends on how you install and configure them. GPU drivers tend to be somewhat problematic so being able to choose when or if they are updated might be benneficial | 17:05 |
| RikMills | If installed from the Ubuntu archive packages (which driver manager does), then that driver version will get updates normally | 17:07 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Hohtava> They don't seem to update by default if installed via that software sources menu. But if you use a PPA for the drivers, I think they would | 17:07 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Hohtava> ah, thanks for the clarification | 17:08 |
| RikMills | switching major driver version would have to be done manually | 17:08 |
| Elliria | So, I'm good to go ahead and make the first choice in that list and Kubuntu will maintain the driver for me from then on? | 17:08 |
| RikMills | as you would want to be the case really | 17:08 |
| RikMills | Should do so, yes | 17:09 |
| Elliria | I don't know if it used to do that for me or not. I just let Kubuntu take care of the driver. | 17:09 |
| Elliria | Thank you. That's perfect, then. Now, the only problem will be if enabling this prevents me from getting in (black screen or whatever) and necessitates some tinkering with settings to be able to boot. | 17:10 |
| Elliria | So far, this installation has gone perfectly [knock on wood]. | 17:10 |
| Elliria | Thank you to both of you for the help! | 17:14 |
| Elliria | And if either of you are Kubuntu developers, thank you for Kubuntu! | 17:14 |
| RikMills | You are welcome | 17:15 |
