Public bug reported:
While updating my system running Focal (20.04), my nvidia drivers are not
working and now I cannot install the updates (ubuntu-drivers autoinstall).
I tried to purge everything installed and named nvidia and after autoinstalling
the correct driver for my system.
Thanks for helping out.
1)
aurion@w540:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)
Release: 20.04
2)
aurion@w540:~$ apt-cache policy nvidia-340
nvidia-340:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 340.108-0ubuntu2
Version table:
340.108-0ubuntu2 500
500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/restricted amd64 Packages
3) I would like to be able to install this version of nvidia driver
since I have a dockstation and I use the thunderbolt connection for my
external monitor
4) I got an error message that the script could not install the drivers. I also
had a look into the synaptic additional drivers and the nvidia is selected as
installed. However the rendering of my screen is very slow and when I switch to
another screen, I can see the window been reloaded.
Also I am unable to connect my external monitor via thunderbolt.
