NVIDIA 390 driver

Hardware Support
22

this is what i got after removing the other drivers

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:kelebek333/nvidia-legacy

Repository: 'deb Index of /kelebek333/nvidia-legacy/ubuntu jammy main'
Description:
Nvidia-340 and Nvidia-390 legacy driver for newer kernel series.

For Nvidia-340 only

Notes for kernel 5.11.x and newer versions:

Following lines may need to be added to a configuration file for Nvidia driver to be enabled with the 5.11 update of the kernel. These lines added to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-drm-outputclass-ubuntu.conf by default on nvidia-340 package.

Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia-340/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection

If you have created /etc/X11/xorg.conf config file, it will overwrite the default configuration file as it has priority. You can delete the xorg.conf file with the command below to get workaround.

sudo rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Or, you can find a solution by adding the following lines to xorg.conf file.

Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia-340/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Or you can install the xorg-modulepath-fix package from PPA repository with the following command to do this for you. This package will automatically add the above lines to xorg.conf file. This package also allows the above lines to be automatically added to the xorg.conf file when you run nvidia-xconfig command.

sudo apt install xorg-modulepath-fix

Why are you consistently on Nouveau?
Are you logged in on Wayland?

From your log in screen, clicking the gear icon should give you the option Zorin on Xorg
Given your Nvidia card, it should be on Xorg (X11) automatically...

26

thats weird cause when i checked when i rebooted because of another commenter i am on zorg, ill check again

27

yeah its been on

I am confused.
It shows you using a manually installed driver. It says no proprietary drivers in use.

Listing the hardware shows Nouveau open soure non prioprietary in use...
But it is not checked as in use in Additional Drivers.

It lists the 390, which you removed... but not the 470, which you installed.

Importantly, when you installed the 470, It listed the 390 being removed then, yet when you ran sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*', that should have completely removed 390 before you installed 470.

31

yeah i have no idea what i did for this to happen, is my last resort resetting or something?

32

nouveau drivers are stubborn. It has to be blacklisted. Check your "/etc/modprobe.d" folder and see if you have "nouveau-blacklist.conf" file. If it doesn't exist, you can create one.

In it, there should be two lines:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau.modeset=0

If the file exist, try adding "nouveau.modeset=0" to your grub entry.

If it didn't exist and you created one, you will need to run "sudo update-initramfs -u" on terminal and then reboot

and yeah the file dont exist (i typed what u said in the files )so i just make a folder? im super new at this im so confused

35

It's your grub configuration file /boot/grub/grub.cfg. You will have to edit it as root.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN EDITING THIS MANUALLY OR IT COULD RESULT YOUR PC NOT BOOTING

Edit the very first menu entry. Should look like this:

menuentry 'Zorin.....' {
...
...
...
linux '/boot.....'
initrd '/boot....'
}

The 'linux...' line is what you're looking for and that's where you will add 'nouveau.modeset=0' at the end. Looking at my grub.cfg file, the linux line is line 184.

If you decide to edit this, you will have to update grub after you save: "sudo update-grub" then reboot.

36

It may be safer and easier to add it to /etc/default/grub as a grub parameter:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

add nouveau.modeset=0 after the word splash. Use arrow keys to navigate.
Once at the word splash, put one space with spacebar, then nouveau.modeset=0
It will look like "quiet splash nouveau.modeset=0"

Tap ctl+o to overwrite, then enter key to save, then ctl+x to exit the editor.
Run

sudo update-grub

Reboot and test.

You need to save the conf file you created in /etc/modprobe.d folder. The folder is already there for you

38

idk how to acces it, i cant find the folder even when i type that in the files it says not found

39

No worries. Open terminal and type sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-blacklist.conf

Enter the two lines mentioned above and save

41

Ctrl + X to exit. Pay close attention to prompts at the bottom left of your screen. It should ask you next if you want to save. Type "y" and hit enter
