  • Is there a reason why you can't download and install the Nvidia driver package on the machine with the Nvidia graphics adapter? That would be far simpler than what you're describing. If the target machine has no (cheap) internet connection, you can always download the installation package elsewhere with a different machine and store the package on the drive with the Live Ubuntu system for later installation. – David Foerster Mar 06 '17 at 22:20
  • @DavidFoerster the problem is if i boot the ubuntu live stick on the pc with an nvidia graphics card i get no signal. In my Oppinion the missing Drivers are responsible for that, so i wantedt to preinstall them – Flausch ZERO Mar 07 '17 at 05:37
  • Ah, but you can likely work around that with the nomodeset kernel parameter. See My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it? for this and other possible solutions/workarounds. Could you please try that and report back with the result? – David Foerster Mar 07 '17 at 10:08

    @DavidFoerster Thanks a lot for your answer. With the articel you linked i was able to find out that i was booting the Live USB in UEFI Mode, and because of that i wasn't able to start with nomodeset. Now i'll just use nomodeset, install the drivers and then install the whole system on my harddrive – Flausch ZERO Mar 07 '17 at 15:11
  • Alright. I'm glad it worked out. In that case could you please [edit] your question to include the info from your first comment about the underlying issue, so I can conclusively vote to close your question as a duplicate? Thanks. – David Foerster Mar 07 '17 at 15:32

It is possible, your live USB stick just needs to have persistent storage enabled so you can save packages.
