This article mainly introduces how to install the nvidia driver in ubuntu, which is very detailed and has certain reference value. Friends who are interested must finish reading it!

Ubuntu install nvidia driver method: 1, download the appropriate driver on the nvidia official website; 2, shield the nouveau driver; 3, close the graphical interface; 4, modify file permissions; 5, execute the installation command to install.

1. Preparatory work:

Ubuntu16.04 dual system, graphics card model: Nvidia GTX1050.

(1) first, go to the Nvidia official website to download the driver:

Find your own graphics card, choose the Linux version to download, download is the .run file, note: it is best to download to the English path. For example, / home/xxx/Nvidia.

(2) at this point, it is best to upgrade the kernel version of Ubuntu, otherwise there may be a discrepancy between the kernel version and the driver (personal experience and attached pictures)

Second, install Nvidia driver:

(1) Shield nouveau drivers

The graphics card driver integrated by the Ubuntu system is nouveau, which is an open source driver developed by a third party for NVIDIA. We need to block it before we can install the official NVIDIA driver. So we have to add the driver to the blacklist blacklist.conf, and we have to modify the properties of the file before editing.

① modifies properties

$sudo chmod 666 / etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

② is opened with gedit

$sudo gedit / etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

③ adds the following lines to the last line to save the exit

Blacklist vga16fbblacklist nouveaublacklist rivafbblacklist rivatvblacklist nvidiafb

④ updates the file

Sudo update-initramfs-u

(2) install the driver

Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 first to close the graphical interface (an asterisk in the process proves that you need to enter a password)

$sudo service lightdm stop

Then go to the .run file directory and install the driver

$cd / home/xxx/Nvidia / / enter the directory of the downloaded .run file $sudo chmod afigx NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-xxx.run / / modify permissions $sudo. / NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-xxx.run-no-x-check-no-nouveau-check-no-opengl-files / / perform the installation

In the process, according to the prompt, select Accept and so on.

(3) complete the installation

$sudo service lightdm start / / launch the graphical interface

Then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to the graphical interface.

Third, verify the installation.

$nvidia-smi

The presence of the video card message proves that the installation is successful.
