I am a newbie. Installed Ubuntu 22.04. after installation I got black screen instead of login screen Read some and found out about NVIDIA drivers. I have GEFORCE 920m. I loaded Ubuntu, went to recovery mode, root, used "sudo apt purge nvidia*". it worked out and I could login but every time I try to change graphic drivers to NVIDIA (recommended, any) I got black screen and could not login. How can I install proper driver and should I have to install propietary ones?

    Does this answer your question? How do I install the Nvidia drivers? – kanehekili Apr 03 '23 at 20:34

  • @kanehekili it did not work out – hellyeahhell Apr 04 '23 at 15:16
  • Well, thanks for your feedback. Since your not very verbose, I won't be able to help you. You could explain what you did and which errors occurred. I'm running a NVIDIA GEforce 770 with native drivers (470.182) from the repos with kernel 5.19 So it should work (on another distro with Kernel 6.1 same driver) – kanehekili Apr 04 '23 at 20:01
  • @kanehekili More details: Firstly I tried to install drivers via GUI. I've tried all proposed but after every try I got black screen. Then I tried your recommendations sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-drivers-common sudo ubuntu-drivers devices # this will show you information sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall. It did not worked. Then I tried your recomendations + sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf With the following contents: blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 Regenerate the kernel initramfs: sudo update-initramfs -u Finally, reboot: sudo reboot. – hellyeahhell Apr 05 '23 at 15:53
  • @kanehekili but after all I've got black screen. I do not know what to do. my sysytem Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, NVIDIA GEFORCE 920M, kernel 5.19.0-38 – hellyeahhell Apr 05 '23 at 15:56
  • Usually we would appreciate, if you could share your information in your question. not in the comments. You can edit your question any time and add infos. The Nvidia site confirms, that the 470 driver is the correct one. Since you can't login you could open a terminal with 'Crtl+Alt +F2'. Now login on the terminal and copy the output of nvidia-smi into your question. You'll have to make a picture though... The crucial info is which version of the driver did you install – kanehekili Apr 05 '23 at 23:02
  • @kanehekili thank you. think I have found the solution. I switched to Linux Mint. Works perfectly – hellyeahhell Apr 07 '23 at 04:06
  • Yup, it has an older Kernel. Makes sense – kanehekili Apr 07 '23 at 18:21
