Sobre minha placa de vídeo não ser reconhecida pelo sistema operacional

Hardware Support
1

Olá, pessoal!

Estou enfrentando um problema no Zorion OS: o sistema não reconhece minha placa de vídeo, o que acaba tornando ela inútil dentro do sistema operacional. Já tentei verificar os drivers disponíveis, atualizações e até reinstalar o sistema, mas nada parece funcionar. A GPU simplesmente não é listada corretamente e não entra em funcionamento.

Gostaria de saber se alguém já passou por isso e pode me ajudar com algumas sugestões:

  • Existe algum comando específico para forçar o reconhecimento ou reinstalar os drivers da GPU no Zorion?
  • Pode ser uma questão de compatibilidade com o kernel usado?
  • Há alguma maneira de instalar drivers proprietários ou usar um gerenciador de drivers que facilite esse processo?

Minha placa é NVidia GTX 750TI 4gb e o sistema está rodando a versão 17.3.

Welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately from my recollection a 750ti is no longer supported on the newer kernels included in Zorin by default (someone may wish to correct me if I'm wrong). From what I can see, the last driver version that supports your card would be 334.21. I would wager you would have to downgrade your kernel to either the 5.xx series, or even possibly the 4.xx series to get it properly supported.

Perhaps someone else in here that has more nvidia knowledge can give you a little better insight into making it work properly, but I'm not sure how fruitful it's going to be.

Using the kelebek Nvidia Legacy drivers:

In addition to downgrading the kernel to 5:15 or older as @applecheeks37 suggests should work.

To downgrade the kernel, you can use mainline or install Zorin 16.3, which still contains the 5.15 kernel, and then upgrade to Zorin 17.3. This way you can choose whether you want to use kernel 5.15 or the current kernel at boot. Then install nvidia drivers (340 or 390, I am not sure - this is displayed when you go to other drivers in the software management).
It is easier to add the ppa from kelebek so that the Nvidia drivers 340 and 390 also work on the Zorin 17 kernel.

Terminal can also be used, though the 5.15 seems the earliest available in the default Zorin 17 Repository:

sudo apt install linux-image-5.15.0-100-generic linux-headers-5.15.0-100-generic linux-modules-5.15.0-100-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-100-generic

@Aravisian That makes it much easier, I didn't know that! Thank you!

Will the current kernel then be overwritten, or can it still be selected if required?

Installing a kernel does not overwrite the existing kernel - indeed, it cannot because the existing kernel is in use.
If you install or have multiple kernels installed, you can select which one to boot from from the Grub menu > Advanced Options.
