The installation was successful but when I type ubuntu-drivers devices into the terminal again, it still lists:

The hardware. Is it normal?

          Yes, it is normal.



          The command



          sudo ubuntu-drivers devices


          shows both the available drivers. Run:



          sudo lshw -c video


          or



          sudo lshw -c video | grep conf


          that will show the driver in use.
