"nVidia GT215 [GeForce GT 320]" graphics card not working on Ubuntu 22.04

pk flag

I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04 on my old PC. My PC freezes randomly, it might be related to the graphics card. I think I need to install the correct driver. I looked to solution for the problem in this forum, but I was unable to solve it.

lsmod | grep nvidia and sudo ubuntu-drivers devicesdoes not give any output,but lspci | grep VGA gives me following output:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 320] (rev a2)

Output for sudo lshw -c video:

What driver does the NVIDIA site say to use for that card on Ubuntu? Says you have no installed driver. Device-1: NVIDIA GT215 [GeForce GT 320] driver: N/A

Try using these commands: apt search nvidia-driver Check for the tested/recommended option from the list. Then, sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 nvidia-dkms-390 **Replace the driver number as per the result you obtain from the first command. Also do `apt update` and `apt upgrade` before running the driver search command. Lastly, `sudo reboot`, after restart the problem should have been solved.

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.
