How do I download Nvidia Drivers on (Zorin Os 17 Lite)

Uhm, It says read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted

Let's try using sudo permissions...

sudo lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 nvidia

Or

sudo dmesg | grep -i nvidia

it doesnt seem to wokr

Are you sure that you have an Nvidia card?

When something does not work; the best practice is to describe what you see; We cannot see your screen.

I am not sure i have a nvidia card

This output shows that it is not finding anything related to Nvidia.
The reason I chose the lspci command is that it should show the card that is plugged into the PCIe slot, even if the drivers or modules are not loaded.
(For example, using lsmod, the Nvidia driver modules would need to be loaded to see it.)

Given your output and your lack of certainty about having a Nvidia card, I suspect that one is not connected or included in this machine.

This shows that you are not in Safe Graphics and have normal modesetting. Likely, during the installation, you opted to run the installation with Safe Graphics, which it did - but the setting was not persistent upon reboot.

Yes i opted for safe graphics

So what am i suppose to do now? I'm sorry for troubling you so much

Well... Are you having any graphics related issues or need help with your Intel Graphics?

Unless we can identify an Nvidia card present in your machine; there seems no need for any drivers...

No worries, that is a harmless action during installation.

Well not really thanks alot for the help man!

On second thought can you guide me on getting additional intel drivers?

How to download Intel drivers?

I've moved your new thread over here as it seemed related. In the topic of how to install drivers the easiest way is to launch Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers. After a few seconds of loading, it will show which drivers are available for download.

In this case, you can see I have none, but this is dependent on the hardware so your results might vary.

If you also don't have anything listed here then the question should be asked: what seems to be the problem?

Yea i dont see anything

Could it be that Your Machine doesn't have a Nvidia Graphics built in?

Yes i mentioned that earlier now im trying to get intel graphics card

Intel driver comes with the kernel so you don't need to do anything. It's because intel drivers are open source where Nvidia is restricted/close source.
