[SOLVED] driver installation issue [SOLVED]

[kgrim]

Having issues with installing drivers correctly. Keep getting pop up that says I don't have any hardware acceleration. I've installed and purged nvidia drivers a couple of times and had to fix a resolution issue a couple of times but I have not gotten anywhere with the drivers

I'm trying to use the proprietary driver nvidia 525-open.

Nevermind. I checked the forum post about common issues with graphics drivers on linux and found all I needed to do was disable secure boot and reinstall the drivers. Worked perfectly.
