How to Install NVIDIA 358.16 Driver in Ubuntu 15.10, 14.04
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
[NVIDIA 358.16][1], the first stable release in NVIDIA 358 series, has been announced with some fixes to 358.09 (Beta) and other small features.
|
||
|
||
NVIDIA 358 added a new **nvidia-modeset.ko** kernel module that works in conjunction with the nvidia.ko kernel module to program the display engine of the GPU. In a later driver release, the **nvidia-modeset.ko** kernel driver will be used as a basis for the mode-setting interface provided by the kernel’s direct rendering manager (DRM).
|
||
|
||
Thew new driver also has new GLX protocol extensions and a new system memory allocation mechanism for large allocations in the OpenGL driver. New GPUs **GeForce 805A** and **GeForce GTX 960A** are supported. NVIDIA 358.16 also supports X.Org Server 1.18 and OpenGL 4.3
|
||
|
||
### How to Install NVIDIA 358.16 in Ubuntu: ###
|
||
|
||
> Please don’t do it on production machines unless you know what you’re doing and how to undo it.
|
||
|
||
For the official binaries, please go to [nvidia.com/object/unix.html][1].
|
||
|
||
For those who prefer an Ubuntu PPA, I’d recommend the [Graphics Drivers PPA][2]. So far, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 15.10, Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04 are supported.
|
||
|
||
**1. Add PPA.**
|
||
|
||
Open terminal from Unity Dash, App Launcher, or via Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut key. When it opens, paste below command and hit enter:
|
||
|
||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Type your password when it asks. No visual feedback, just type in mind and hit Enter to continue.
|
||
|
||
**2. Refresh and install new driver.**
|
||
|
||
After adding PPA, run below commands one by one to refresh repository cache and install new driver packages:
|
||
|
||
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
||
sudo apt-get install nvidia-358 nvidia-settings
|
||
|
||
### (Optional) Uninstall: ###
|
||
|
||
Boot into the recovery mode from the grub menu, and drop into root console. Then run below commands one by one:
|
||
|
||
Remount the file system as writable:
|
||
|
||
mount -o remount,rw /
|
||
|
||
Remove all nvidia packages:
|
||
|
||
apt-get purge nvidia*
|
||
|
||
Finally back to menu and reboot:
|
||
|
||
reboot
|
||
|
||
To disable/remove the graphics driver PPA, launch **Software & Updates** and navigate to **Other Software** tab.
