>Since JJJ mentioned Ubuntu recently coming out with updated nVidia >drivers, I'll try that next. In my case the old driver was '440' and the new one was '450.' I knew which model nVidia chip I had, but I couldn't find anything from Ubuntu telling me which chip needed which driver. So I went to nVidia's website and found their driver for my chip, and noted its name. Then I went back to Synaptic and discovered that Debian/Ubuntu packages the nVidia drivers, but renames them in the process. (Why??) Fortunately the numbers still matched. There are various packages for each driver. I ended up with nvidia-compute-utils-450 nvidia-dkms-450 nvidia-driver-450 nvidia-kernel-common-450 nvidia-kernel-source-450 nvidia-utils-450 --plus a few more 'nvidia' packages without the number I think I just marked the driver package and Synaptic auto-marked the others for me. It was a scary process, but it worked. :) _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
