How to install nvidia-driver-470 for my GTX 650

General Help
1

I can't install this driver because nvidia not support Kernel 6.14.0-37-generic. I asked chatgpt what to do and got the answer that I needed to roll back the kernel to the previous version, if i will do it, ZorinOs-18 will have errors? Or i can do something else ???

2

Install kernel 6.8 and set it as default to boot from, then the 470 nvidia driver works. It is no problem to use the older 6.8 kernel on Zorin 18.

Only to add that to @Forpli's Comment. Here is the Command to install the 6.8 Kernel:

sudo apt install linux-image-6.8.0-107-generic linux-headers-6.8.0-107-generic linux-modules-6.8.0-107-generic linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-107-generic

Even in this version of the kernel, I got the same errors with packets nvidia-dkms-470 and nvidia-driver-470

You can check with

uname -r

if you are running on kernel 6.8 now.

10

I checked, 6.8 was

Is secure boot disabled in your BIOS (or do you have created a MOK for use Zorin with secure boot enabled)?

12

i don't know, I have already returned to the modern version of the kernel as it did not work. I'll look for a way to solve this problem tomorrow. I just have a ZorinOs operating system , I'm a beginner and didn't do anything superfluous

i have answer from chatgpt which states that versions 6.5 and 6.8 not support nvidia-driver-470

You could switch to Zorin 17 and there install there install the 5.15 LTS Kernel. That should work. Unfortunately this Kernel isn't available in the Repo's. You could only install it when using the Mainline Tool:

15

Yes, i will do it tomorrow, but ZorinOS 18 not support 5.15?

16

The Kernel is not available in the Repo's. But You can use it. You only have to install it manually. Alternatively, You can use Zorin 17 and install it there from the Repo's.

i installed ZorinOs 17.3 and kernel 5.15.0. ZorinOs freezes and does not load the system and chatgpt said that ZorinOs 17.3 not support 5.15 kernel... -_-

18

How did You installed the Kernel?

19

from Repo's sudo apt install linux-image-5.15.0--generic linux-headers-5.15.0--generic
And this s*it installed into my pc all version kernels 5.15.0.
I tried to enter in 5.15 but i couldn't, display zorinOs just freeze

And I have already solved the problem with the driver, he successfully installed on ZorinOs 17.3 6.8 kernel.
But I had to delete all kernels and accidentaly deleted some packets, i again installed those packets but after "apt update" doesn't work, exactly he infinitely load

ChatGPT is Wrong.
As it often is...

This is a problematic command... I am not sure where you read it. But it likely completely filled your Root Directory.
