I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and my computer is freezing solid on the login screen. Have to hard reset holding the power button.

Initially, I had Mate 20.04 installed (I believe in April) and it worked great till Aug.

I have since tried several full clean installs (Actually new OS on / and keeping my same personal data on /home). All new installs fail to get past the login screen.

Currently, I am trying U ...

I've been trying for a while now to install the Nvidia drivers in my laptop, but even though it seems to be installed the nvidia commands doesn't work at all nor the HDMI displays works with an external screen (via HDMI).

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on my HP Spectre X360 with Intel Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] and I am having flickering graphics.

Unlike similar entries that have been reported, my flickering is discontinuous. It sometimes happens showing grey flickering boxes 5-6 times in a minute, and sometimes it does not happen for 2-3 minutes. Overall, it annoys me quite a lot.

I have a dual-boot machine with Windows8 and Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

I have a Lenovo Gaming i3 with a GTX 1650 and am running Ubuntu 20.04 latest. The laptop's screen is 1080p 120Hz and I connect an external 1080p 60Hz monitor.

In previous versions of Ubuntu I was able to install the proprietary nvidia driver for the GeForce 210 graphics card under Additional Drivers in Software & Update but now there are "No additional drivers available".

the Ubuntu 20.04 automatic updater (software updater) asked me to allow to install updates. I agreed to update, but at 70% an error appeared. I didn't pay attention to it, but after I put the PC to sleep and then turned it back, I ended up being asked for my password, entering it, but it comes back to ask for my password indefinitely.

I used a old HP media PC to install Ubuntu Linux 20.04.3 and removed the video card and restart the machine. The server boots after making several beeps. I guess it is because I removed the graphics card. Is there any way to remove this GPU check during bootup?

I had installed the graphics card drivers and all when installing the OS. Everything was fine until my laptop started to switch off due to heating issues due to nvidia graphics card.... So I somehow disabled* it in a way i dont remember... Now lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' returns

Occasionally, when I restart my computer and boot ubuntu (I have dual boot with Windows 10), my Ubuntu login screen looks fragmented. I'm using Nvidia graphics driver version 470 (proprietary), and I have secure boot disabled. I can still type in my password (though I can't see what is happening) and it will display my desktop like normal after I login.

I am new to linux and I am using Ubuntu 20.04 on my Dell device which uses intel i3 processor with Intel hd graphics 5500.

The machine was working well for a month and then suddenly yesterday I started seeing a flicker on the screen with purple horizontal line on top and when I press a key or move my mouse it takes some time for the screen to update.

A few days ago I opened Blender and was treated to this mess. I don't know what caused it, but it seemed to have something to do with my graphics card. My system has two GPUs, an Intel HD 530 and an NVIDIA GT 730. Since the problem was occurring on the Intel card, I decided to switch and see if the problem continued. Unfortunately, it did (although it feels subjectively like it's less severe). The  ...

I decided to upgrade the nvidia driver I was using, I opened additional drivers and previously it was 660(proprietary), it had a new version 670(proprietary, tested). It also has tested in it, so I thought what could go wrong. I selected the driver and clicked apply. It downloaded the driver and told me to restart. I restarted and now I'm booting into what seems to be safe graphics mode, I'm unable to u ...

I’ve got a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and I use an external monitor. I’m experiencing horizontal screen tearing when I scroll down/up and when I watch movies or youtube videos. This does not happen when I use the laptop’s screen. The external monitor is connected to the HDMI port.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 on my PC, I have a Dell Vostro 230, core 2 duo 2.93 GHz, RAM 8Gb and an Nvidia GeForce GT220, but every time I try to run Ubuntu, after a few minutes the image is lost, I noticed that the cooler fan shuts down when Ubuntu starts, so I realize that the chip is heating too much.

For the longest time, I could not get NVIDIA OpenCL or CUDA to work on my Optimus enabled laptop. I finally got it working by purging all nvidia packages with sudo apt-get --purge remove '*nvidia*' and reinstalling the driver metapackage with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470 then rebooting.

I'm using Ubuntu 21.04, and I have installed 20.04 before. Both of them are unable to work correctly with my graphics driver. They only show up two low screen resolutions.

Beginner user here. I've got a server box loaded with an Intel S2600ST, an Intel Xeon Silver 4216, and an RTX 3080, and either Ubuntu 20.04.03 or 21.04. When I've had the LTS loaded, it would recognize my nVidia as a generic device, however 21.04 directly identifies it as a 3080.

Ok, I really love linux but I REALLY DETEST the fact that it is awful with GPUs.

Over the last couple of weeks I have tried fedora, kubuntu, kde neon, zorin os, and manjaro and NONE of then could utilize my nvidia graphics card.

I have literally tried everything.

I did a standard nvidia install: 'sudo apt install nvidia-xxx (I think I did 470)'

I think I also tried: 'sudo apt install nvidia-driver-xxx'
