I am currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.Since the latest Nvidia Driver update 396. I have had trouble opening the GUI of Nvidia server X settings so that I could switch between my prime profiles.

So, I would like to know how to install a particular older version of Nvidia (like version 384).

I first did:-

• sudo apt-get purge nvidia*


• sudo apt-get install nvidia-384
  ( Hoping it installs nvidia server X version 384 ( this version used to work correctly for me. ) )

After Installation when I try to know the version by doing nvidia-settings --version

It gives output :

nvidia-settings: version 396.24 (buildd@lcy01-amd64-016) Wed May 2 23:28:38
UTC 2018
The NVIDIA X Server Settings tool.

Also when I try to use sudo prime-select nvidia
and then do glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"


It gives output:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

Major opcode of failed request: 155 (GLX)

Minor opcode of failed request: 24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)

Value in failed request: 0x0

Serial number of failed request: 35

Current serial number in output stream: 36

I would like to know how to install a previous version of nvidia driver (server X settings) that also install an old version of nvidia-settings or a remedy for the current version of nvidia driver that fixes the GUI and prime profile selection menu.

These issues have also been found by many users on :

nvidia-settings Unable to load info from any available systems

Sorry for bad English.

Thanks in advance.

I may be mistaken but I thought nvidia-settings was packaged with the driver itself. So to install a different version you'd need a different driver.

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

sudo apt update

Open Software & Updates > Additional Drivers > Select a newer driver > Apply

If that fails, use aptitude instead via: sudo aptitude install nvidia-driver-418 (or whichever version) and pick a solution that installs the new driver.
