Here is what I get from dpkg -l *nvidia*: dpkg -l *nvidia*ĭesired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold Here is the error I get when attempting to use "Additional Drivers" to switch to nvidia-driver-495 If that isn’t an option, where would you guys start with diagnosing the exact issue and fixing it? Thanks in advance!įinally, here is what I see in that Additional Drivers tab: I don’t know where to start with fixing it, though!įirst, is there any way I can revert the graphics card settings/packages back to default, without reinstalling the OS? Or if that isn’t possible, would there be any way to reinstall Ubuntu without losing my personal files and/or app data? My intuition is that the default graphics driver (the xserver / xorg / nouveau one) is not working properly. Now I can boot the system and log in, which is great, but the aspect ratio is messed up and the graphics are awful. I salvaged the OS after an entire day of trying by going into the Recovery Mode command line, deleting all of my Nvidia packages, tweaking the blacklists (which I believe is what caused the mess to begin with – someone suggested blacklisting the default, open-source driver), and trying to fix a broken bumblebee (I kept getting bbswitch errors). Very quickly, things went downhill, and I was eventually unable to boot the system (the login page wouldn’t display, and I would be stuck with a black screen).
GRAPHICS DRIVER FAILED TO INSTALL INSTALL
I attempted to install one of Nvidia’s graphic drivers by following some advice on the forums.

All we need is an easy explanation of the problem, so here it is.įrom what I can tell, this seems to be a common issue.
