Can't Change To Nvidia Proprietary Driver Ubuntu 18.04
Solution 1:
Try to remove the installed drivers by running:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt remove nvidia-*
sudo apt autoremove
Check what 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
