I am new to the linux ecosystem. I am unable to install nvidia drivers. I tried installing version 415. But I am not able to understand the error due to lack of knowledge. I have tried the following commands.



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-396


I got the following error( sorry I can only post pictures.)
error screenshot



I am also not able to login into my account and coming back to the login screen after putting the login credentials. I would appreciate your advice on this. Thank you.

  • Did you try to remove the nvidia-driver-396 or nvidia-396 first before installing the nvidia-driver-415? I think you have to remove the old driver first since the system will try to upgrade instead of remove and install the new driver.

  • nvidia-396 is the incorrect name for the install from the PPA. It is nvidia-driver-396 for the install. You will probably now need to do the install from launching a TTY to run the install by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 to Ctr+Alt+F6. After the installation type in reboot so that the new driver can take effect.
