Ubuntu Linux Install Nvidia Driver (Latest Proprietary Driver)
Ubuntu Linux Install Nvidia Driver
The procedure to install proprietary Nvidia GPU Drivers on Ubuntu 16.04 / 17.10 / 18.04 / 18.10 / 20.04 LTS is as follows:
- Update your system running apt-get command
- You can install Nvidia drivers either using GUI or CLI method
- Open “Software and Updates” app to install install Nvidia driver using GUI
- OR type “ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-455 ” at the CLI
- Reboot the computer/laptop to load the drivers
- Verify drivers are working
Let us see all commands in details.
Find out information about your GPU
Naturally, you can only install Nvidia driver if you have Nvidia GPU in your system. Type the hwinfo command/lshw command to find out info about your GPU:
$ hwinfo —gfxcard —short
OR
$ sudo lshw -C display
See “Linux Find Out Graphics Card Installed In My System” for more info.

Ubuntu Install Nvidia driver using the CLI method # 2
Open the termial application and search for nvidia drivers using the apt command or apt-get command:
$ apt search nvidia-driver
OR use the apt-cache command to search package:
$ apt-cache search nvidia-driver
Updating and installing all security and important updates on Ubuntu
Do not skip the following two commands as you must apply all pending security updates:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
Installing NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu
Let us install the nvidia-driver-390 package:
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
At this time, the latest tested proprietary drive version is 460. We can install that one as follows on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS:
$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-460
Reboot the Linux with help of either reboot or shutdown command:
$ sudo reboot
Now go to the driver verification step.
Verification
How do I configure the NVIDIA graphics driver?
The nvidia-settings command start a GUI tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver. This is useful to see all GPU info or configure multiple external screen/monitors connected to your system. Open the terminal and type the following commands:
$ nvidia-settings
If you wish to save settings start it as follows:
$ sudo nvidia-settings
A note about ubuntu-drivers command-line method # 3
We can also change drivers without the use of the X GUI/Windows desktop. For these purposes, Ubuntu comes with a unique command called ubuntu-drivers to manage binary drivers for NVidia and other devices. This is an alternative to the apt command/apt-get command we used earlier.
Show all driver packages which apply to the current system
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers list
Outputs from my Thinkpad X1E laptop:
Display all OEM enablement packages which apply to this system
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers list-oem
View all hardware NVidia devices which need drivers, and which packages
$ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
Here is what we see:
Ubuntu command to install a driver NVidia version 455
Warning : You can use only one method. If you use an earlier GUI or apt CLI method, do not try the following command. I have observed broken systems if you mixed various methods on the same system. Stick with one method.
Let us install recommended driver automatically:
sudo ubuntu-drivers install
Conclusion
You learned three different ways to install Nvidia Driver on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 LTS Linux desktop or server. Unmistakably, the GUI method is simple and easy to use. The CLI method is useful for server installation, and the ubuntu-drivers command-line method is recommended for a fresh installation or OEM system like Dell XPS 13 and others.

when you inevitably run into an error at reboot following the cli explanation at the top of this guide do the following:
use the magic trouble shooter
ctrl + F1 through F7
then:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
when you’ve logged in:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
autoinstall will inspect your hardware for the recommended drivers, install and set up user and group permissions.
NONE OF THIS WORKS. The options on the “Additional Drivers” tab are all greyed. None of the command line options will get past a message saying:
“Media change: please insert the disc labeled
“‘Ubuntu 20.10 _Groovy Gorilla_ – Release amd64 (20201022)’
“in the drive ‘/cdrom/’ and press [Enter]”
The machine does not have a disc drive and there is no such disk. I installed from a USB stick. How the hell do I get my second screen back? When I first installed Kubuntu a few months ago it just found the screen without effort.
You need to remove CDROM as package source. Open GUI app app “Software & Update”. Make sure you enable “Downloadable from the Internet”. Do not put CDROM. Then go to “Other Software” and disable all “CDrom with” options. Then save everything and you can now install them from the Internet. See:
Choose nvidia-driver-390 (proprietary, tested) and click on the Apple Changes button
I think there is no APPLE button…..
Just install nvidia drivers for my linux using apt command. worked perfectly on HP laptop.
I can’t believe it was that simple
Me too. It was very easy. I always click nixCraft tutorial. I am visiting this site since last 10 years or more.
I have an error after installing drivers with the second method (CLI).
My NVIDIA graphic card is a GeForce GT 630, and I have installed the following driver: nvidia-driver-460
When I try to do the verification step, I receive the following error;
egonzalez@pc-despacho:
$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
i do not know how to solve this 🙁
Reboot the system to load and get updated NVIDIA driver.
Rebooting didn’t resolve the error:
“NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.”
Changing the driver versions (multiple versions multiple times) and rebooting every time didn’t resolve it.
Bull. You saved my ass. Worked a treat.
This post is really awesome. You save my time. I have trouble installing the 3090 driver. However, I solved my problem by following your post. Thank you so much!!
I agree. +1 for providing upto date information for developer like me who just started with Ubuntu Linux. Worked perfectly on my Dell XPS 15 laptop.

Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver
Version: | 455.28 | |
Release Date: | 2020.10.7 | |
Operating System: | Linux 64-bit | |
Language: | English (US) | |
File Size: | 161.13 MB | |
(https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49407) Vulkan with flipping enabled on Quadro cards can lead to graphic corruption. If you think you have run into it you can do either of the following as a workaround: — Disable flipping in nvidia-settings (uncheck «Allow Flipping» in the «OpenGL Settings» panel) 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_64-455.28.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.
