Ubuntu Command line Display Driver Change

Fri 30 October 2015 in Command Line, Linux

Recently upgraded to 15.10 and that looked okay at first. However, the displa driver that it installed, NVIDIA, was causing issues. So I defaulted back to the open source driver and reboot. MISTAKE! Ended up causing the system to crash and couldn't do anything about it.

I rebooted into root terminal. Then ran a command to display the available drivers.

ubuntu-drivers devices

The spit out a list of drivers. Then I reinstalled the latest available nvidia driver.

apt-get install nvidia-352-updates
