I can t update my driver

Yes, you must run boot repair when booted in the LiveUSB of Zorin OS since the files for boot must be unmounted in order to write to them. They cannot be unmounted if you are booted into your bare-metal installation.

I wrote this command and it worked:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair

Yes... that is the command shown here

Maybe we will fix it this time :slight_smile:

And i did reinstall zorin os like 7 times

When I first migrated from Windows to Zorin OS (Linux), I reinstalled a lot.
Reinstalling is a lot like Moving house.
It's easy to do at first, but the more clutter you accumulate, the harder it becomes.

Can u tell me how to fix my gpu

My gpu is 820m

And i think we will install 340m to fix it

sudo apt remove --purge nvidia*

sudo apt install sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic nvidia-340

Reboot and tap esc tab and choose Advanced Options for Zorin
Select the 5.4 kernel to boot from.

Once logged in, test graphics performance through use.

it says unable to locate package with this command:sudo apt install sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic nvidia-340

Does sudo apt install sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic also say that?

yes it does

I have double checked the repositories and those packages are assured present.

Are you connected to the internet?
Have you run

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

no but i did it now

and which command do i use

sudo apt install sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic nvidia-340

or

sudo apt install sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic
linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic
linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic

i tried sudo apt install sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic nvidia-340

and

sudo apt install sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic
linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic
linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic

but i have the same problem

Oh... I see it now. I made a typo. I was thinking while typing instead of trusting my brain to think for itself - and have sudo apt install twice in the command line.

sudo apt install linux-headers-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-5.4.0-81-generic linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-81-generic linux-image-5.4.0-81-generic nvidia-340

I knew it was a typo but its ok

its downloading now when i finish i will reboot and choose kernal 5.4.0 and then check if my laptop works fine

is there an error? DKMS: install completed.

Hmmm... we installed Nvidia-340 before, right?

sudo apt --fix-broken install

sudo apt purge nvidia-*

sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt install nvidia-340

but i reinstalled zorin os so how i installed 340m before?
