How to Install the NVIDIA Driver on Linux

Показать описание

If you need the best performance out of your NVIDIA graphics card while using Linux then you need to install NVIDIA's proprietary driver. Thankfully this process is a lot easier these days, and in this video I show you how to do that.

Thanks.
After browsing tons of forums where people get to step 3 and just say "now run it" as though a newbie knows how, I found your video. And it worked first time, now I'm no longer stuck at 30Hz and 1080i.

This video solved a problem i've been working on for weeks! Thanks a bunch!
I got a gtx 1050 ti recently to use as a video encoder so it doesnt hammer my cpu so much, and this completely fixed everything

Hi! I just want to add a note that this is only for machines that have secure boot disable in UEFI bios, otherwise it will not work. To install video drivers with secure boot enable, you need to create a signing key, and load that key into your UEFI bios to load the video drivers. Thanks for your time and help.

Thanks very much, the Ubuntu tutorial worked flawlessly for Linux Mint 20.3 CE UNA with driver version 510 on my GTX 1060 3GB.

Man things are so much easier than they used to be. I'm a casual linux user so this was helpful. I want to use my Linux for music making so I installed the low latency kernel but that didn't have nvidia support by default. I tried installing the nvidia modules using apt but that apt came up with some dependency errors which I could not figure out. Long story shot, I rant apt dist-upgrade and I noticed it fixed some shit to do with dkms or whatever and then it did some insmod commands then after a reboot, the nvidia driver was finally installed to my lowlatency kernel. So you video kinda helped indirectly.

Bless you mate. I've had random freezing on my Manjaro KDE in the last week, so I'm hoping that downloading the Nvidia drivers will help. Many thanks. You got yourself a new subscriber too.

Thanks for the incredibly useful tutorial, a sub well earned.

You got a new subscriber. I don't want to talk about the days of compiling the drivers and updating the kernel days. So many fucking blank screens on reboots in my 20s.

thanks, i had to install nvidia-525 and NOT nvidia-525-open like it was recommending me to do in the driver manager gui. that is why i kept getting a black screen with a blicking cursor. to fix i uninstaled all nvidia drivers in recovery, then used the terminal in there to install nvidia-525.

I tried the old methode for like 30 minutes (did not work for me) until i found this great tutorial.
But "Software & Updates" is called "driver managment" on Linux Mint.
Thank you for this great Video!

I'm apologize for not posting a video in over a month. There's been a lot on between work, some family stuff, and fighting with some plumbing issues in my house, but I'm back now (I even have next week's video already done!) and I hope you all like this one! :D
