Title:
nvidia-drivers-435 won't load on GeForce GTX 980M
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Preamble
I have an Entroware Athena with GeForce GTX 980M GPU. It was running
18.04, and then upgraded to 19.10 where it was running fine. I was on
GNOME but due to another unrelated bug I switched to MATE. While away,
I think some packages updated on it and when I tried using the machine
it was slow, feeling like I was using a VESA driver (very slow
framerate on the desktop). I thought it needed an nvidia driver update
and reboot, however, I couldn't install the latest nvidia driver.
It got into a situation where nvidia-drivers-435 wouldn't install
because xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-435 and libnvidia-cfg1-435 were
being held back. So I did:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-435 xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-435
libnvidia-cfg1-435
When I rebooted, it's still not using the nvidia binary driver.
I also noted it doesn't seem to trigger dkms at all. Surely it needs
to?
