The newly bought computer is equipped with a Nvidia independent graphics card. Although there is an open source NVIDA driver available on Ubuntu, the interface is always stuck, so I installed the official driver and it is silky and slippery in an instant. The following is my method, which is simple and rough.

Ubuntu 16.04 instals NVIDA graphics card

Recommends the command line installation, simple and effective, first add source:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

sudo apt-get update

Then view the current machine graphics card recommended to install the driver:

Ubuntu - drivers devices = = / sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01onsaturday (UK time). 0/0000:01:00. 0 = = modalias: pci:v000010DEd00001D01sv000010DEsd00001D01bc03sc00i00 vendor : NVIDIA Corporation driver : nvidia-415 - third-party free driver : nvidia-430 - third-party free recommended driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin driver : nvidia-384 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-418 - third-party free driver : nvidia-410 - third-party free == cpu-microcode.py == driver : intel-microcode - distro free

Recommended nvidia-430, which automatically instal the recommended version directly:

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

However, during the installation process, it was suggested that there was a lack of dependency library, so in order to solve the dependency, I independently installed NVIDIa-430 with aptitude:

sudo aptitude install nvidia-430

Without aptitude installation, direct apt installation is OK:

sudo apt install aptitude

When using aptitude, can let you choose whether to change the current dependency changes, the default is “Y” to keep current state of the system, not solve rely on, choose “n” is to install and uninstall dependent libraries advice at the time of installation check the console output, see if it is wrong to delete the dependent libraries, after confirm there is no problem, Then select “N” for the next step. You can also search for aptitude on the Internet.

After installing and restarting the computer, check the information of the current video card:

A similar output indicates successful installation! B: Well, I should get a better graphics card
