Setting Up NVIDIA Apt Driver
-
1. Enabling Nvidia Drivers PPA
Add Nvidia Graphics Drivers PPA for Mint GNU/Linux
-
3. Installing NVIDIA Driver from Apt Repo
First, possibly Find out the Required NVIDIA Driver Version:
Then search what is available on Mint Apt Repo:
sudo apt update && apt search nvidia-driver
If the version you found on the NVIDIA Support site matches the required NVIDIA Driver Linux Version, proceed with the setup process. For example, execute the following command:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-555 nvidia-settings
This will ensure seamless installation of the driver, providing the necessary support for your NVIDIA graphics card.
But if the driver is unavailable, refer to this guide: NVIDIA Generic Driver Setup.
And in case of Issue try instead with the more powerful aptitude Package Installer.
So first, to Install Aptitude run:sudo apt install aptitude
And next try the Setup again playing:
sudo aptitude install nvidia-driver-555 nvidia-settings
Last, to load the New Driver Reboot:
sudo reboot
Else Download the NVIDIA Driver installer and follow with the Next Step…
