I recently built a PC and then installed Ubuntu. I noticed that when using the graphics card's ports Ubuntu doesn't pick it up so I have to use the CPU graphics card. I had the nvidia drivers for the card, but it doesn't seem to install. All help is much appreciated. Note: I'm very new to Ubuntu so if there is a different way to install drivers I wouldn't know Specs: i3-4360 GeForce GTX 750 H97M-D3H

  • Have you tried booting it up, going into the bios and switching to pice graphics? I had to do this on my new gigabyte board, as it did not automatically switch. Note: Drivers have literally nothing to do with your bios not switching over to your graphics card. You won't be able to install them until a nvidia card is detected. – Hellreaver Jan 11 '15 at 08:10
  • Try running this query from the terminal: ubuntu-drivers devices. Does this command return any available NVIDIA drivers? Also see: Ubuntu 14.10 Nvidia Driver for example output of ubuntu-drivers devices for an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphics processor. – karel Jan 11 '15 at 08:26

The standard Ubuntu Nvidia drivers generate some problems on slightly older and slightly newer Nvidia hardware.

If you want more then the standard Ubuntu repository drivers, install the xorg.edgers PPA. As the xorg.edgers group ask not to give installation instructions directly without linking to their page, this is the best I can do.

If you don't know what a PPA is or need some guidance after reading their page, leave a comment below.
