It also seems like the name of some nvidia packages has changed, which may have caused inconsistencies. I have purged all installed nvidia software using apt-get, rebooted. and then reinstalled nvidia-driver-396. After I reboot again the drivers are still broken. I tried this several times and googled, but to no avail. I still cannot open nvidia-settings and some other 3D functionality does not seem to work. Also, when I try to open one of the nvidia command line tools I sometimes get messages indicating that something with Xorg is not right. ------- bram@bram-PE60-6QE:~$ sudo nvidia-settings No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information. ------- I looked at help, but it is not really giving me useful suggestions as a semi-noob. This is the Xorg config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf generated by the nvidia installer ------- # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 396.54 (buildmeister@swio-display-x64-rhel04-14) Wed Aug 15 00:22:27 PDT 2018 Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "Files" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection ------- Does anyone have an idea of what I could try?
