I am trying to install the drivers for my Graphic Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti

To see the recommended drivers I am using the command:

ubuntu-drivers devices

But the command does not display anything

    2 possibly dumb questions: 1. Do you have an active internet connection? and 2. Have you already installed updates, other software or at least run sudo apt update? –  May 14 '19 at 07:17
  • You have two options: If you use ubuntu 20.04 , then simply run sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440.If not , download the recommended 440 driver for your GPU here the run the following commands : chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.100.run ; sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.100.run – Parsa Mousavi Jul 08 '20 at 07:07
  • May possibly be due to over-enthusiastic security lockdown not letting drivers be listed? – DragonLord Oct 31 '20 at 19:38
  • @DragonLord, what does this mean? – Anna Nov 22 '23 at 15:16

I had the same problem. Software & Updates > Ubuntu software > check 'Proprietary drivers for devices' option. Then update from gui or sudo apt update

    any CLI solution? I am running Ubuntu on WSL – pcko1 Dec 05 '20 at 00:03
  • Regarding WSL, I've tried it using sudo apt install nvidia-driver-455 to update via CLI, but still. had no luck. I had to revert to dual booting to Ubuntu. – ShermanL Dec 22 '20 at 02:32
  • For WSL, there is a completely differ approach. WSL, being hosted under windows, uses the windows driver. CUDA can be set up to work in WSL using this tutorial on the Ubuntu website. – Paidoo Jan 30 '23 at 14:00

This is an old question, but the most likely cause is that you don't have the restricted repository enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list. All the proprietary drivers are there.
