Second, specify it below if you want to install the driver package directly or choose another version. First, if you are happy with the recommended version, use this command: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall. There are lots of commands available to get Linux hardware details. Next, we will install the nvidia-driver-470 driver package.

If you install a graphics driver from the default Ubuntu repositories, you will also get automatic updates for that driver which are sometimes linked to kernel updates. Before installing Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, ensure that you have Nvidia GPU in your system. In this tutorial, I will show you how to install the latest kernel on Ubuntu 21.04 using the ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh command line. Don't worry about this, because if the difference between version numbers of the two proprietary graphics drivers is small, then you will get similar performance by using either of the two drivers. Also, in ubuntu 16.04 this doesn't seem to work. So you can skip the grep: modinfo nvidia -field version. If you visit the official AMD or NVIDIA websites you will often see that the latest version of the proprietary graphics driver for your GPU is a little bit more up-to-date than the version of the same graphics driver that is available from the default Ubuntu repositories. On ubuntu 18.04 my version of modinfo has a -field command line option. If your computer has an Intel processor and it doesn't have a discrete graphics processor, the command ubuntu-drivers devices will not return results that show that a proprietary graphics card driver is available to be installed because the Intel graphics driver is built-in in Ubuntu. The devices command of ubuntu-drivers lists proprietary drivers that are compatible with your computer's GPU.
For most users there's no reason to guess about which proprietary graphics driver to install, because if your system deserves a graphics driver upgrade it will get one. Sometimes sudo apt upgrade even upgrades the proprietary graphics driver packages to more recent packages, in which case sudo apt autoremove removes the older packages which were replaced by the newer ones. And as you can see in the output below, this command gives more information on the graphics card such as clock rate, width, driver etc. You need to specify that you are looking for video card (graphics card) information in this fashion: sudo lshw -C video. In Ubuntu 20.04 and later running sudo apt upgrade not only upgrades the versions of the proprietary graphics drivers that were installed by sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall. This command requires you to have root access.
#Ubuntu change graphics driver command line update#
Sometimes, though, you might want to update to a proprietary.
The autoinstall command of ubuntu-drivers installs drivers that are appropriate for automatic installation including their dependencies. Most users won't need to play around with their drivers, because Ubuntu updates your drivers regularly along with other system updates. Open the terminal and type: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall Ubuntu has a built-in ubuntu-drivers program that can decide automatically which graphics driver to install, and streamlines the installation of Nvidia drivers.
