I am trying to install graphic card drivers for my GTX 1060

first I ran sudo ubuntu-drivers devices for recommended driver

enter image description here

which is 415 version

But as you can see in screenshot that apply button is disabled for only 415 option

enter image description here

how can I install that?

    What driver is shown in use if you type in nvidia-smi from a terminal window? – Terrance Nov 23 '18 at 06:49
  • The proprietary graphics driver for the Nvidia GTX 1060 can also be installed directly from the default Ubuntu repositories instead of installing it from a PPA, if you uninstall the existing Nvidia proprietary graphics driver, disable the PPA, and run sudo apt update && sudo reboot first. See this answer. – karel Nov 23 '18 at 08:41

Before everything, run nvidia-smi to see which driver version do you have. If you have a version lower than the recommended one, then try this method (it worked for me with Nvidia GeForce 940MX):

  1. Run this command ubuntu-drivers devices to see which Nvidia driver is recommended for your graphic card
  2. Run sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall.

If the previous command didn't install the desired version of Nvidia drivers, try this: sudo apt install nvidia-<driver_version>.
