P51 Lenov, Install Quadro M2200 graphic card

With the recent advancements in Linux desktop distributions, gaming on Linux is coming to life. Linux users are beginning to enjoy gaming like Windows or Mac OSX users, with amazing performance.

Nvidiamakes top-rated gaming graphics cards. However, for a long time, updatingNvidiadrivers on Linux desktops was not so easy. Luckily, now theProprietary GPU Drivers PPApackages updatednvidia-graphics-driversfor Ubuntu ready for installation.

Although thisPPAis currently in testing, you can get fresh drivers from upstream, currently shipping Nvidia from it. If you are using Nvidia graphics card, this article will show you how to install the latest Nvidia drivers onUbuntuand its derivatives such asLinux Mint.

How to Install Nvidia Drivers in Ubuntu

First start by adding theProprietary GPU Drivers PPAto your system package sources and update your system package cache using.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
$ sudo apt update

Then install the latest stable nvidia graphics (which isnvidia-387at the time of writing this article) using the following command.

$ sudo apt install nvidia-387

Alternatively, openSoftware & UpdatesunderSystem Settingsand go toAdditional Driverstab, select the required driver version and click “Apply Changes”.

Next,rebootyour computer for the new driver to start working. Then use thelsmod commandto check your installation status with the following command.

It will list all currently loaded kernel modules in Linux, then filter onlynvidiausing.

$ lsmod | grep nvidia

Some times updates do not work well as expected. If you face any issues with the latest drivers installation such as black screen on startup, you can remove it as follows.

$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

If you want to completely remove graphics-drivers PPA as well, run the following command to remove PPA.

$ sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

How to check NVIDIA driver version on your Linux system

Use command line and consult

nvidia-smi

utility to reveal NVIDIA driver version

Fresh drivers from upstream, currently shipping Nvidia.
## Current Status
Current long-lived branch release: `nvidia-410` (410.66)
Old long-lived branch release: `nvidia-390` (390.87)
For GF1xx GPUs use `nvidia-390` (390.87)
For G8x, G9x and GT2xx GPUs use `nvidia-340` (340.107)
For NV4x and G7x GPUs use `nvidia-304` (304.137) End-Of-Life!
Support timeframes for Unix legacy GPU releases:
## What we're working on right now:
Normal driver updates
Help Wanted: Mesa Updates for Intel/AMD users, ping us if you want to help do this work, we're shorthanded.
## WARNINGS:
This PPA is currently in testing, you should be experienced with packaging before you dive in here:
Volunteers welcome!
### How you can help:
## Install PTS and benchmark your gear:
sudo apt-get install phoronix-test-suite
Run the benchmark:
phoronix-test-suite default-benchmark openarena xonotic tesseract gputest unigine-valley
## Share your results with the community:
Remember to rerun and resubmit the benchmarks after driver upgrades, this will allow us to gather a bunch of data on performance that we can share with everybody.
If you run into old documentation referring to other PPAs, you can help us by consolidating references to this PPA.
If someone wants to go ahead and start prototyping on `software-properties-gtk` on what the GUI should look like, please start hacking!
## Help us Help You!
We use the donation funds to get the developers hardware to test and upload these drivers, please consider donating to the "community" slider on the donation page if you're loving this PPA:
