If you use one method, stick to it, and if you want to swap, ensure you remove the previous installation to avoid conflicts.īelow I will briefly go through some options for removing the previous Nvidia Drivers.įirst, use a blanket command to remove any traces of Nvidia installation on your system. Please note installing Nvidia drivers over the standard packages can result in unexpected issues, especially if you install the Nvidia drivers from the default repository, then import the Nvidia Cuda repository and try to re-install or upgrade directly over those packages. Proceed to upgrade any outdated packages using the following command. Optionally, you can list the updates for users who require review or are curious. This is important when installing packages such as new kernels and graphic card drivers, especially. Recommended Steps Before Installationīefore proceeding with the tutorial, it is highly advised to run an update in your terminal to ensure all packages are up-to-date to avoid any conflicts during the installation. Now that is out of the way, let’s dive in. However, given so many variations of hardware and other conditions on a specific system, such as other graphically installed dependencies that can conflict with Nvidia drivers after being installed or during, I cannot guarantee this will work for every user, especially legacy Nvidia cards which the majority of users do not use luckily. Thirdly, things go smoothly when installing graphic drivers using these methods for most users. Most users should use method 1 or 2 before moving on to third-party repositories. The same methods will work on Ubuntu short-term releases, except for the Nvidia Repository method, which is why I left it last. Secondly, the tutorials are focused on LTS releases. Unless you are a strict open-source person, I suggest using the proprietary version. The open-source drivers seem to be causing conflicts amongst many distributions depending on your new and older graphics card, especially around 525. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install NVIDIA Graphic Drivers on 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish LTS or 20.04 Focal Fossa using four methods that should suit most user requirements. The Nvidia Graphics Card Drivers can often improve the performance of Ubuntu systems and often improve performance for gaming or digital editing.
