I am trying to install Nvidia driver on my Ubuntu 18.04.
When i check for sudo ubuntu-drivers devices, there is no output.
I have already checked the option for "Proprietary devices for drivers" in Software and Updates as suggested here.
The Additional Drivers tab shows :

No additional drivers available.

What am I missing ?


Output of 
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

is:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    Subsystem: Dell Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    Kernel modules: i915
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    Subsystem: Dell Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03)
    Subsystem: Dell 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller

    What's the model of your GPU? Please add it to your post. – Parsa Mousavi Jul 08 '20 at 06:57
  • Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' terminal command. – Pilot6 Jul 08 '20 at 07:01
  • I ran lspci | grep VGA, it returned: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller. – neil901 Jul 08 '20 at 07:02
  • Sorry if my question seems a little silly but are you sure you have an Nvidia GPU ? Even if you don't have the driver for that , you should be able to see the device in the output of lspci because those are the results of SMBIOS probes.It doesn't need any driver to succeed. – Parsa Mousavi Jul 08 '20 at 07:25
  • Okay i see, i do not have NVIDIA graphics card. so i will not be able to add drivers for it. that was so foolish of me ! – neil901 Jul 08 '20 at 07:41
