How NOT to do it! Get your card ID: lspci -vnn | grep VGA Translate the result at NVIDIA. eg, VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:1c30] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) gives 10de:1c30 and NVIDIA says this is the quadro p2000. Go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx and fill in the details to establish which driver. I get NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-384.59.run to download so the version is 384. See if apt-get can do it: sudo apt-get install nvidia-384 AND HOSE YOUR MACHINE! No graphics after this. DO NOT USE! ****************************** Use graphics update from the desktop and don't install anything other than the recommended......
