drivers - Ubuntu 16.04 and NVIDIA 960m graphics? - Ask Ubuntu


this question has answer here:

there several questions floating around getting ubuntu lts working nvidia 960m cards. given there's no definitive answer, want offer following: after testing several distros, knoppix , kali both worked without problems.

so, questions:

  1. what different ubuntu nvidia drivers don't work out of box?
  2. more importantly, there easy way (for end user) import whatever's working ubuntu 16.04?

edit: here's tried:

  1. purged nvidia-* , reinstalled 364 drivers.
  2. got login loop, followed answers here (chown, chmod, rm .xauthority, , /tmp)
  3. reinstalled xorg , unity.
  4. went nvidia website , found latest driver version works card (opted long lived branch).
  5. purged nvidia* (no dash, following tip in comment), , reinstalled 367 drivers.
  6. purged nvidia*, reinstalled 370 drivers. stuck @ login loop, after following instructions 2.

do not ever download drivers nvidia's website!

this not recommended practice @ on linux! instead, please remove existing drivers , use package manager: sudo apt install nvidia-current or use additional drivers menu.
