How to install nvidia graphics drivers?

sc flag

Running 21.04 for a while and a bad upgrade yesterday ruined my desktop, including the nvidia drivers, and it's not possible to install them again even despite having added the PPA.

1. You are reffering to [not-existent package](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=nvidia+graphics+drivers&searchon=names) (if we talk about official packages). 2. You have to use `ubuntu-drivers` command instead. 3. What is your Nvidia GPU model, why do you think you need a PPA?

You can also consider downloading NVidia drivers from NVidia's download [web site](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
