Can't Change To Proprietary Display Driver Ubuntu 18.04
I recently upgraded to 18.04 from 16.04. My machine has NVIDIA Graphics cards
Quadro 410 When i tried to change graphics driver using the GUI mode under Software and updates. The default X.Org X server keeps on getting selected and I do not get any error.
I see two additional Drivers listed besides the one selected by default
nvidia-driver-390
nvidia-driver-340
- X org driver
drivers nvidia graphics xorg

Try to remove the installed drivers by running:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt remove nvidia-*
sudo apt autoremove
see which is the recommended driver for your Nvidia card by running:
ubuntu-drivers devices
If you want to install the driver automatically, run :
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
If you want to install a specific driver, run:
sudo apt install nvidia-<driver number>
Once the installation is finished, run prime-select query to check which graphic card is being used by your device.
If you want to change the graphic card used by your PC, run : sudo prime-select <intel/ nvidia>; choose between Nvidia and Intel graphic cards.
After that, restart your PC to apply changes
