1. Open your terminal
[email protected]<3r:~$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
2. Next we need to blacklist “nouveau”. Do so by adding the following into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with your favorite text editor.
About Nouveau
[email protected]<3r:~$ sudo blacklist nouvea
3. Install the latest official stable driver from the repository
[email protected]<3r:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
4. Next we’ll load the Nvidia kernel module
[email protected]<3r:~$ sudo modprobe nvidia
5. Verify it’s successful entry via lsmod like so
[email protected]<3r:~$ sudo lsmod | grep -i nvidia
6. And one last step, we must create the Nvidia configuration file.
[email protected]<3r:~$ sudo nvidia-xconfig
