NVIDIA drivers not working
Hello,
I am relatively new to linux so bear with me.
I am running a GTX 1060 3GB in my desktop running Linux Mint 19 and have been constantly trying to install NVIDIA graphics drivers. Through the drive manager, it says that the "nvidia-driver-390" is selected, however, when I run Minecraft to test this, it says nouveau is being used.
I have tried to install the official Linux NVIDIA drivers from the website and that required nouveau to be disabled. After many failed attempts to disable the pesky driver, I eventually gave up. I tried blacklisting it then updating the initrd, didn't work. I've uninstalled the driver(apparently) and that didn't work. No matter what I do the driver still is on and operational. I've used Google and this site's forums numerous times trying to find a solution to no avail. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Open the Terminal, use these commands, and post the output:

Re: NVIDIA drivers not working
You have attempted to install the Nvidia driver in Driver Manager at least once and several times with a driver downloaded from Nvidia’s website. Have you reinstalled Mint after doing all that?
The inxi output says the modesetting driver is loaded but the lspci output says nouveau. Use these commands to get more info:

Re: NVIDIA drivers not working
Hello...
First off you should never download graphics drivers from a website ( unless there's a really good reason to and you know what you're doing ).
Use the driver manager from menu/administration.
So, start with opening the terminal and running
next re-boot your machine.
Then hopefully you'll have no results.
Now go to the driver manager and check for and install the recommended driver and reboot again.
Check that drivers are loaded with you're looking for
If it continues to fail to load you'll probably need to blacklist nouveau . Provide the results again of roblm's commands.

First off you should never download graphics drivers from a website ( unless there's a really good reason to and you know what you're doing ).
Use the driver manager from menu/administration.
So, start with opening the terminal and runningnext re-boot your machine.Code: Select all
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-*
Thenhopefully you'll have no results.Code: Select all
dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
Now go to the driver manager and check for and install the recommended driver and reboot again.
Check that drivers are loaded withyou're looking forCode: Select all
inxi -G
If it continues to fail to load you'll probably need to blacklist nouveau . Provide the results again of roblm's commands.Code: Select all

Re: NVIDIA drivers not working
Is there a Secure Boot setting enabled in the BIOS? It should be disabled.
The modesetting driver is loading, which is strange because usually if the Nvidia driver doesn't load, then the fbdev driver is loaded, after blacklisting nouveau. Did you use this command to remove the nouveau driver package?

sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Re: NVIDIA drivers not working
Yes, secure boot was enabled, so I disabled it just now. Would that fix it? Yes, I had removed the driver package.roblm wrote: ⤴Sun Jul 15, 2018 7:04 pm Is there a Secure Boot setting enabled in the BIOS? It should be disabled.

Re: NVIDIA drivers not working
It did fix it! Nvidia driver is being used now! Thank you, I hadn't seen the need to disable secure boot before.roblm wrote: ⤴Sun Jul 15, 2018 7:04 pm Is there a Secure Boot setting enabled in the BIOS? It should be disabled.
