I have downloaded the proper driver from the web but every time I try to open, it says not responding or will open in gedit, take forever to load, then say there was an error.   In the driver file it's marked as run as program. Am i missing something?   I believe I figured it out. .run has to be run through terminal. I tried installing from the terminal and got the following results:    =====================================================================  AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Driver Installer/Packager  ===================================================================== Detected configuration: Architecture: x86_64 (64-bit) X Server: X.Org 6.9 or later 64-bit loki_setup: directory: (null) Installing package for: Ubuntu/trusty fglrx_14.501-0ubuntu_.deb fglrx-amdcccle_14.501-0ubuntu_.deb fglrx-dev_14.501-0ubuntu_.deb Selecting previously unselected package fglrx-core. dpkg: regarding fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb containing fglrx-core:  fglrx-core conflicts with libopencl1   ocl-icd-libopencl1:i386 provides libopencl1 and is present and installed.   ocl-icd-libopencl1:amd64 provides libopencl1 and is present and installed.  dpkg: error processing archive fglrx-core_14.501-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--install):  conflicting packages - not installing fglrx-core Selecting previously unselected package fglrx.

I am planning on doing a fresh install of Ubuntu and want to know what is the correct way to install ATI Catalyst Video Driver?      There are multiple valid answers for this question spanning over several versions of Ubuntu. For your convenience an index of each below:

So I installed Ubuntu server to run some tests on a VM. For various reasons I couldn't get a specific DEB file, and instead of using a shared folder I decided it would be a good idea to install ubuntu-desktop so I can run Firefox and grab the file directly from the web.   Now, every time I boot my machine I get the graphical interface, but I have no reason for it since I'm running tests with the LAMP server.  I tried this    And this    If anyone has any idea for a solution, I'd appreciate it.   BTW: I thought about simply uninstalling ubuntu-desktop, but I feel like I might need it in the future, so, I really just want to disable the GUI.  EDIT:  While this solution is not perfect I realized, it works for now:  On the  question, user Michael K mentions that:  " Okay another way would be to disable the lightdm service in init:  /etc/init/lightdm.conf   in there there is a section like this:  start on (filesystem and started dbus and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stopped udev-fallback-graphics))   "  While this worked perfectly, I can't access the GUI with the startx command - the system just crashes. And I guess I'll need to uncomment the section to load startx.  Considering the fact that I want to keep the server running for as long as possible, having to restart it every time I want to log in the GUI is kinda unproductive.  EDIT2:  I guess it's possible simply to kill the GUI (  ) when I log in the system, it's still counter productive, but it works too.   EDIT3:   Michael K's reply worked fine. I just realized that to call the GUI I need to run lightdm and not startx

I was installing ubuntu-Gnome 16.04 on my Asus ROG GL522VW laptop with an nvidia GTX 960m graphics card, and stumbled upon a problem.  After installation, I don't even get to the login screen. Instead my screen just freezes. I had this problem before, and got my answer in this post:   So I booted with nouveau.modeset=0, and everything boots just fine. But after I use additional drivers to install the NVIDIA binary driver - version 361.42 from nvidia-361 (proprietary, tested), I only get a black screen when I try to boot regardless of whether nouveau.modeset=0 is set or not.  While the screen is black, when I try to access the command line with ctrl + alt + f1 all I get is this: A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (Xmin Xs/no limit) and no matter how much I will wait, it doesn't end and I have to reboot.  I followed the instructions in this post:   When I boot after reinstalling everything and choosing lightdm - it basically works but my login screen looks like a unity login screen, and when I insert my credentials it shows me a very bugged screen with all kinds of broken images with some of the things I had on my last boot, and after a few seconds my screen flashes on and off and it boots into my normal desktop, but still keeps spitting out system problem detected with only the option to close or report.  Also tried to install nvidia-355 and all kinds of versions, with no luck.  I wouldn't mind working with nouveau.modeset=0, but as far as I understand this disables my graphics card and doesn't utilize all of it's potential?  Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post and if I should include more information please tell me what else I should include.  A huge thanks up front!  Edit: Reposted this question again and didn't know I can just edit the question to get it back up.  Edit2: Bumping again in a last effort to solve this issue  Please let me know if it is lacking information.

I saw this answer - , but the getdeb links seem to be broken or gone.  I also tried the appImage file for Linux here - , but it would not execute at all. (I did set the file properties to "executable".)  Also no results on Ubuntu package search.  So is there any currently available solution to run this on 16.04?

I recently installed the proprietary Intel drivers for my Toshiba Satellite A105 s4284 running Ubuntu 14.10. Nouveau was working just fine, I was just attempting to make it so that I was able to run CS:S (no need for explanation on that.)  Long story short, I went and downloaded the Intel Graphic Drivers for Linux* from . After downloading and installing the .deb, I ran intel-linux-graphics-installer which opened up a window that downloaded &amp; installed the open Intel drivers. I then rebooted, and it's slow. Very slow, especially on 3D effects and when I hit Alt+Tab.  Now, I don't know if the previously installed Nouveau drivers are conflicting with these new Intel drivers (if that's the issue, what should I do about fixing it?) What I do know is that my system isn't behaving right and I want it to (obviously.) If removing the Nouveau drivers isn't the solution, how can I safely remove the just-installed Intel drivers?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have 14.04.5/16.04 or newer and an AMD GPU. I'm not getting the performance I want, and some programs say they need things like OpenCL.  I've heard about fglrx, but if I try to install it on my machine, it breaks and I have no GUI.  Is there anything I can do to get my AMD card working to its full potential?

I have installed Ubuntu on, but now I am trying to install NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit for the GPU. When I install it, it says that there is no driver found, so I have tried to install the driver, but I don't know why after installation, the system not coming up. Maybe it is because of the wrong version of the driver.   When I tried to detect the driver version using sudo lshw -C display , it showed this information:    But here it doesn't say that what is the product name of the driver, and also when I go Software &amp; Updates -> Additional Drivers, then it says NVIDIA Corporation: Unknown.    What should I do?

I recently made the switch to Ubuntu. Everything on my laptop works fine except my hybrid graphics card. It is Intel graphics combined with Nvidia GeForce GT650M. I tried Bumblebee, but primusrun doesn't work (segmentation fault, core dumped) and optirun works with glxspheres64, but steam games look worse with optirun than with Intel graphics (e.g. Surgeon Simulator 2013 runs fine with Intel and hangs a lot with optirun)   I tried Nvidia Prime, but it gives me a black screen on startup after install, so I can't do anything and have to power off my PC with the power button. I also tried nvidia-prime 0.5 on Ubuntu 14.04, and then I get 'low-graphics mode' and I can't get to Unity.

There aren't any drivers for the video card on my computer or for SiS in Ubuntu repositories and I know that it is poorly supported or one of least supported. I also have Windows installed and on Windows the drivers are installed and available.  Can I use wine or PlayOnLinux to install those drivers from Windows so that I have the drivers installed on Ubuntu?  Is that possible?    I have Ubuntu 12.04 beta so far and Ubuntu 11.10 installed  My video card is:   01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)   From a previous question that I asked

I need to enter the command line alone with no GUI to install the official NVIDIA drivers. I'm trying to get my computer to work over HDMI and someone on Youtube shows how but you have to be in the Nvidia settings program.

I am using the  ppa. I got an update dialogue today which stated that I can update my nvidia driver to 367.18 (~gpu16.04.6). I started the update just like every time, but it failed with  Failed to get unit file state for var-lib-snapd-lib-gl.mount  After rebooting, my graphics driver was broken and I was forced to go into recovery mode.  As usually when my Nvidia driver breaks, I just uninstall it with  sudo apt purge nvidia* to reinstall it clean afterwards.   Doing this in recovery mode uninstalled all except the nvidia-opencl-icd-367 package which failed with the error above.   Trying to manually uninstall this package ends with these errors:       Update @20160605 - Solution:  Following Videonauth's answer below solves the issue. Please go through all the steps and make sure to reboot after removing everything of NVIDIA via sudo apt purge nvidia* succeeded without issues and after reinstalling the driver via sudo apt install nvidia-367.  This shall get your driver working again.   If this does not help, try to manually remove all old xorg configs sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf* &amp;&amp; sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reinstall the driver again sudo apt install nvidia-367 --reinstall.  If this still does not let you log back in (Typical error: Logins screen --> password has been entered, enter pressed --> goes back to login screen) try completely removing your Nvidia driver again from by switching into text console from the logscreen with Ctrl+Alt+F1, login with you account name and password, donwload the appropriate driver for your graphics card from  within console, stop lightdm:  sudo service lightdm  Install Nvidia's binary driver using sudo ./NVIDIA-VERSION...  and reboot system:  sudo reboot now  System:  Ubuntu 16.04 64bit  Linux 4.4.0-22

I have a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 graphics card - how do I have to install the NVIDIA drivers properly in Ubuntu 17.10? Is it the same procedure as in 17.04 or does the fact that Ubuntu 17.10 uses the Wayland session by default change something?
