How to change graphic card driver using ubuntu-drivers?
Solution 1:
No, you can't. At least no with that tool. There isn't a command that would help you to install different drivers:
list: Show all driver packages which apply to the current system.
debug: Print all available information and debug data about drivers.
devices: Show all devices which need drivers, and which packages apply to them.
autoinstall: Install drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation.
list
doesn't install, but lists. debug
just prints more information. devices
is informative. autoinstall
doesn't allow other parameters:
def command_autoinstall(args):
'''Install drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation.'''
cache = apt.Cache()
packages = UbuntuDrivers.detect.system_driver_packages(cache)
packages = UbuntuDrivers.detect.auto_install_filter(packages)
if not packages:
print('No drivers found for automatic installation.')
return
# ignore packages which are already installed
to_install = []
for p in packages:
if not cache[p].installed:
to_install.append(p)
if not packages:
print('All drivers for automatic installation are already installed.')
return
ret = subprocess.call(['apt-get', 'install', '-o',
'DPkg::options::=--force-confnew', '-y'] + to_install)
# create package list
if ret == 0 and args.package_list:
with open(args.package_list, 'a') as f:
f.write('\n'.join(to_install))
f.write('\n')
return ret
You could just ignore the tool and install manually the package yourself using apt
following the output you got. Just remove one package and install the other:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-updates
