For example, I installed Kernal 4.10 and after a quick Google search (the term is “kernel 4.10 release”), I found it kernel 4.10 is released one on. But which one should I download? You want to download the one after the Linux Kernal is released. Now you will see all the old Nvidia drivers for Linux and the architecture you’ve selected. Find, download, install the Nvidia driver Go to the bottom of the section, and click the “Archive” link in light green. Now find the section for your computer architecture, here mine is “Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T”. Then you will be on the Unix Driver Archive page. The link is located at the bottom of the following screenshot. That page has all the previously published Nvidia drivers.

What should I do? In this article, I will let you know what I have done to solve this problem after a few hours of tinkering in the dark, but with a lunch break… Nvidia driver archive pageįirst, you will need to go to the “ unix drivers” webpage on the Nvidia driver download page. You tried to install the latest Nvidia driver that is in the Ubuntu “Proprietary GPU Drivers” PPA repository but had no luck: your computer still boots into low graphics mode. Then you go to the Nvidia driver download page, and download the latest GPU driver, which is “LINUX X64 (AMD64/EM64T) DISPLAY DRIVER” 440.82 released on 2020.4.7 you won’t be able to install it because the GCC version (GCC 4.8) in Ubuntu 14.04 is too old. You might also have a new computer with an Nvidia GPU like GeForce GTX 1070 and a newer Intel wireless card like, The chances are that you might already install newer Linux Kernal like 4.10 just to make the latest Intel wireless card working.

You might be stuck with Ubuntu 14.04, which, at the time of writing (May 2020), has reached end-of-life and only receive security updates.
