> note: I think, in your case, the output of nvidia-detector is correct, since you don't seem to have an obsolete driver installed.
nope, it's supposed to "Return the recommended driver version", see https://github.com/tseliot/ubuntu-drivers- common/blob/138c91aae486f2449d374273ae3790800132f09f/NvidiaDetector/nvidiadetector.py#L40-L48 On my system (XUbuntu 20.04 with Geforce 970) it's what it does, it prints "nvidia-driver-470" I think if it prints "None" that means that it couldn't find any nvidia GPU (or maybe at least none it knows a driver for?) on the system -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808874 Title: nvidia-detector doesn't seem to detect nvidia Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: bdmurray@flash:~$ grep nvidia /proc/modules nvidia_uvm 757760 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000 (POE) nvidia_drm 40960 1 - Live 0x0000000000000000 (POE) nvidia_modeset 1110016 3 nvidia_drm, Live 0x0000000000000000 (POE) nvidia 14360576 84 nvidia_uvm,nvidia_modeset, Live 0x0000000000000000 (POE) drm_kms_helper 172032 1 nvidia_drm, Live 0x0000000000000000 drm 401408 4 nvidia_drm,drm_kms_helper, Live 0x0000000000000000 ipmi_msghandler 53248 2 nvidia,ipmi_devintf, Live 0x0000000000000000 bdmurray@flash:~$ nvidia-detector none bdmurray@flash:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1808874/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
