System will only install nvidia-driver-455

Post by Stegmeister »

I started with Nvidia-driver-390 but some games required a new driver. I installed driver-455 but had some bad graphic lag during Grim Dawn.
So I did the following:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-435
But when I start the install I only see it trying to install version 455:


sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-435

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n

No matter what version I try to install, the system is always trying to install 455

Any help would be appreciated.

What version of Mint are you running? If v20, you don't need to add the PPA.

Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);
- Make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxpmrz
(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter, and don't omit the space after inxi!)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

FYI I was able to install nvidia-driver-418 but I had to download the driver and install it manually.
Also, it doesn't show up int Driver Manager

When you install the driver manually, it does not show up in Driver Manager. That is normal.

I checked the Nvidia driver information. The Nvidia-390 and the Nvidia-418 support your GTX 770M.
I do not see your card listed as supported for either the Nvidia-435 or Nvidia-455. The non-notebook GTX 770 is listed as supported for both of those, but not the 770M.

Hopefully your game will work well with the Nvidia-418.

Note that Nvidia drivers that you download from the Nvidia website and install manually, are generic and haven't been adapted at all to Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Only Nvidia drivers in the official software sources and in the semi-official graphics-drivers PPA have undergone such adaptation. Furthermore, manually installed drivers tend to break after kernel updates.

That is good to know, thanks. I will reinstall version 418 from the sources.
