Select available driver from Software & Updates application
Step 1: Add nvidia keyring & apt repo
wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.0-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.0-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get updateStep 2: List out all available nvidia drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt list nvidia-driver-*Step 3: Choose one of the list of available drivers & install
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-<version>Step 1: Disable the Nouveau drivers
_ Create a file at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf with the following contents:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0Quick cmd
sudo bash -c "echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf"
sudo bash -c "echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf"_ Regenerate the kernel initramfs:
sudo update-initramfs -uStep 2: Download & Calculate the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file
md5sum <file>Step 3: Install kernel headers & necessary packages
sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) libglvnd-dev pkg-config dkmsStep 4: Uninstall old installation
Depend on the way the previous nvidia driver was installed, unistall it using one of below methods:
_ For installing using pkg manager
sudo apt remove nvidia-driver-<branch>_ For installing using *.run file
sudo ./<driver_file>.run --uninstallStep 1: Reboot and login to virtual console (tty) by pressing ctrl + alt + F2/.../F6
Step 2: Go to the directory which contains downloaded drivers & run the *.run file (with options if necessary. Ex: --dkms)
sudo ./<driver_file>.run --dkmsNOTE: See here for list of avalable options
NOTE: For more instruction from nvidia, see here
Step 1: Install necessary packages
sudo dnf install -y tar bzip2 make automake gcc gcc-c++ pciutils elfutils-libelf-devel libglvnd-devel iptables firewalld vim bind-utils wgetStep 2: Install kernel headers
sudo yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-headers-$(uname -r)Step 3: Uninstall old installation
Depend on the way the previous nvidia driver was installed, unistall it using one of below methods:
_ For installing using pkg manager
sudo yum remove nvidia-driver-latest-dkms_ For installing using *.run file
sudo ./<driver_file>.run --uninstallStep 1: Satisfy the external dependency on EPEL for DKMS
sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpmStep 2: Install the CUDA repository public GPG key
distribution=rhel7
ARCH=$( /bin/arch )
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/$distribution/${ARCH}/cuda-$distribution.repoStep 3: Update the repository cache and install the driver using the nvidia-driver-latest-dkms meta-package
sudo yum clean expire-cache
sudo yum install -y nvidia-driver-latest-dkmsStep 1: Download & Calculate the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file
md5sum <driver_file>Step 2: Disable the Nouveau drivers
_ Create a file at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf with the following contents:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0_ Regenerate the kernel initramfs:
sudo dracut --forceStep 3: Go to the directory which contains downloaded drivers & run the *.run file (with options if necessary. Ex: --dkms)
sudo ./<driver_file>.runFor notebook, to utilize nvidia GPU for all graphic applications, remember to change PRIME profiles to NVIDIA (Performance Mode)
Alternative method is cmd sudo prime-select (nvidia|intel|on-demand|query)
