nvidia - Why A Mismatch Between ubuntu-drivers list and Additional Drivers List? - Ask Ubuntu


i on ubuntu 16.04 , have both intel gpu , nvidia geforce gtx 860m graphics card. unfortunately ubuntu not recognizing nvidia card i'm trying figure out proper resolution.

following command , output when trying identify drivers installed on system:

sudo ubuntu-drivers list nvidia-364 nvidia-367 intel-microcode nvidia-340 nvidia-370 nvidia-358 nvidia-361 

when access additional drivers tab of software , updates, driver apparently selected nvidia card "using x.org x server -- nouveau display driver"

my question: why ubuntu-drivers command correctly identify drivers show in additional drivers tab except x.org server entry? why mismatch?

there no "mismatch".

"x.org x server -- nouveau display driver" default open-source driver. when select option, proprietary drivers uninstalled.

ubuntu-drivers list command shows available proprietary vendor drivers.

and output not mean of proprietary drivers installed.
