Nvidia geforce ��� linux mint

• Added support for the following GPUs:
  GeForce GTX 1080
  GeForce GTX 1070
• Added support for VDPAU Feature Set H to the NVIDIA VDPAU driver. GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set H are capable of hardware-accelerated decoding of 8192×8192 (8k) H.265/HEVC video streams.
• Fixed a bug that caused the X server to sometimes skip displaying Vulkan frames when the Composite extension is enabled.
• Fixed a bug that would cause OpenGL applications to crash when creating a context on one X display connection, then making it current with no associated drawable on another X display connection. This fixes a crash when starting some versions of Matlab.
• Fixed OpenGL presentation to SDI through the GLX_NV_video_out and GLX_NV_present_video extensions, which was broken by the introduction of the nvidia-modeset kernel module in 358.09.
• Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect offset to be applied when using the full composition pipeline on a display whose image has both a rotation and a ViewportOut offset applied.
• Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to crash on some systems when responding to events such as hotplugging DisplayPort devices.
• Fixed a bug that could cause crashes in OpenGL applications which use glTextureView() with a non-zero minlevel.
• Enhanced the Display Device information page in nvidia-settings with additional information for DisplayPort devices to reflect attributes which are specific to DisplayPort connections.
• Fixed a bug which could cause deleted application profiles to appear when editing rules in the nvidia-settings control panel.
• Fixed a bug that caused hangs when a G-SYNC monitor is unplugged and a non-G-SYNC monitor is connected while G-SYNC is active.
• Fixed a bug that caused «nvidia-modeset: ERROR: GPU:0: Activating G-SYNC failed» to be printed to the system log if a G-SYNC monitor is connected and stereo is enabled in xorg.conf on a configuration that doesn’t support it.
• Added the NV_robustness_video_memory_purge OpenGL extension, which allows applications to know when a mode switching or power event purged the contents of FBOs and BOs residing in video memory.
• Fixed a bug that prevented HDMI 2.0 4K monitors from waking up from sleep or hot-replug.
• Fixed a bug that could lead to a system crash if there was a peer-to-peer mapping still active during CUDA context teardown.

Known Issues with this release:
When SLI is enabled, abnormal termination of the X server (such as with the SIGKILL signal) may result in a kernel panic.

* Resuming from suspend may not be reliable on GeForce GTX 9xx boards in some configurations.

Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution’s native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution’s framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA’s official package.

Also note that SuSE users should read the SuSE NVIDIA Installer HOWTO before downloading the driver.

Installation instructions: Once you have downloaded the driver, change to the directory containing the driver package and install the driver by running, as root, sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.27.run

One of the last installation steps will offer to update your X configuration file. Either accept that offer, edit your X configuration file manually so that the NVIDIA X driver will be used, or run nvidia-xconfig

Note that the list of supported GPU products is provided to indicate which GPUs are supported by a particular driver version. Some designs incorporating supported GPUs may not be compatible with the NVIDIA Linux driver: in particular, notebook and all-in-one desktop designs with switchable (hybrid) or Optimus graphics will not work if means to disable the integrated graphics in hardware are not available. Hardware designs will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so please consult with a system’s manufacturer to determine whether that particular system is compatible.

How to Install Nvidia Drivers on Linux Mint [Beginner’s Guide]

Last updated March 5, 2021 By Ankush Das 36 Comments

Linux Mint is a fantastic Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that aims to make it easy for newbies to experience Linux by minimizing the learning curve.

Not just limited to being one of the best beginner-friendly Linux distros, it also does a few things better than Ubuntu. Of course, if you’re using Linux Mint like I do, you’re probably already aware of it.

We have many beginner-focused Mint tutorials on It’s FOSS. Recently some readers requested help with Nvidia drivers with Linux Mint and hence I came up with this article.

I have tried to mention different methods with a bit of explaining what’s going on and what you are doing in these steps.

But before that, you should know this:

• Nvidia has two categories of drivers. Open source drivers called Nouveau and proprietary drivers from Nvidia itself.
• Most of the time, Linux distributions install the open source Nouveau driver and you can manually enable the proprietary drivers.
• Graphics drivers are tricky things. For some systems, Nouveau works pretty well while for some it could create issues like blank screen or poor display. You may switch to proprietary drivers in such cases.
• The proprietary driver from Nvidia has different version numbers like 390, 450, 460. The higher the number, the more recent is the driver. I’ll show you how to change between them in this tutorial.
• If you are opting for proprietary drivers, you should go with the latest one unless you encounter some graphics issue. In those cases, opt for an older version of the driver and see if that works fine for you.

Now that you have some familiarity with the terms, let’s see how to go about installing Nvidia drivers on Linux Mint.

How to Install Nvidia Drivers on Linux Mint: The Easy Way (Recommended)

Linux Mint comes baked in with a Driver Manager which easily lets you choose/install a driver that you need for your hardware using the GUI.

By default, you should see the open-source xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver for Nvidia cards installed, and it works pretty well until you start playing a high-res video or want to play a game on Linux.

So, to get the best possible experience, proprietary drivers should be preferred.

You should get different proprietary driver versions when you launch the Driver Manager as shown in the image below:

Basically, the higher the number, the latest driver it is. At the time of writing this article, driver version 460 was the latest recommendation for my Graphics Card. You just need to select the driver version and hit “Apply Changes“.

Once done, all you need to do is just reboot your system and if the driver works, you should automatically get the best resolution image and the refresh rate depending on your monitor for the display.

For instance, here’s how it looks for me (while it does not detect the correct size of the monitor):

Troubleshooting tips

Depending on your card, the list would appear to be different. So, what driver version should you choose? Here are some pointers for you:

• The latest drivers should ensure compatibility with the latest games and should technically offer better performance overall. Hence, it is the recommended solution.
• If the latest driver causes issues or fails to work, choose the next best offering. For instance, version 460 didn’t work, so I tried applying driver version 450, and it worked!

Initially, in my case (Linux Mint 20.1 with Linux Kernel 5.4), the latest driver 460 version did not work. Technically, it was successfully installed but did not load up every time I booted.

What to do if drivers fail to load at boot

How do you know when it does not work? You will boot up with a low-resolution screen, and you will be unable to tweak the resolution or the refresh rate of the monitor.

It will also inform you about the same in the form of an error:

Fortunately, a solution from Linux Mint’s forum solved it for me. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Access the modules file using the command:

2. You’ll be prompted to authenticate the access with your account password. Once done, you just need to add the following lines at the bottom:

Here’s what it looks like:

etc modules nvidia

If that doesn’t work, you can launch the Driver Manager and opt for another version of Nvidia driver. It’s more of a hit and try.

Install Nvidia Driver Using the Terminal (Special Use-Cases)

For some reasons, if you are not getting the latest drivers for your Graphics Card using the Driver Manager, opting for the terminal method could help.

It may not be the safest way to do it, but I did not have any issues installing the latest Nvidia driver 460 version.

I’ll always recommend sticking to the Driver Manager app unless you have your reasons.

To get started, first you have to check the available drivers for your GPU. Type in the following command to get the list:

Here’s how it looks in my case:

non-free refers to the proprietary drivers and free points at the open-source nouveau Nvidia drivers.

As mentioned above, usually, it is preferred to try installing the recommended driver. In order to do that, you just type in:

If you want something specific, type in:

You just have to replace “450” with the driver version that you want and it will install the driver in the same way that you install an application via the terminal.

Once installed, you just need to restart the system or type it in the terminal:

To check the Nvidia driver version and verify the installation, you can type the following command in the terminal:

Here’s how it may look like:

To remove the driver and its associated dependencies, simply mention the exact version of the driver:

And, simply reboot. It should fallback to use the open-source nouveau driver.

install the open-source driver using the following command and then reboot to revert to the default open-source driver:

Installing Nvidia Drivers using the .run file from Official Website (Time Consuming/Not Recommended)

Unless you want the latest version of the driver from the official website or just want to experiment the process, you can opt to download the file (.run) and install it.

To proceed, you need to first disable the X server and then install the Nvidia driver which could turn out to be troublesome and risky.

You can follow the official documentation if you want to explore this method, but you may not need it at all.

Wrapping Up

While it’s easy to install Nvidia drivers in Linux Mint, occasionally, you might find something that does not work for your hardware.

If one driver version does not work, I’d suggest you to try other available versions for your Graphics Card and stick to the one that works. Unless you’re gaming and want the latest software/hardware compatibility, you don’t really need the latest Nvidia drivers installed.
