gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 9:44 AM

#

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 9:44 AM

#

how did you install the nvidia driver?

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 9:45 AM

#

wet escarp how did you install the nvidia driver?

from the driver manager

#

on linux mint

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 9:46 AM

#

i have to check your card specs out

GTX 750ti

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 9:49 AM

#

open Driver Manager, see what other options it offers for that device.

#

and tell me which specific driver version it's on right now

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 9:51 AM

#

#

535

#

the recommended one

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 9:53 AM

#

try 525. ideally you'd want 450, or 390 but those are on older Mints

#

nevermind u have 390 right there

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 9:54 AM

#

so 390?

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 9:54 AM

#

yes

#

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=350367

#

works in that user's case

#

apply, reboot, and u should have monitor options after.

#

if it works, I'll show you how to freeze it so it doesn't change drivers

#

tag me here in case of issues

#

idk. might be the card isn't supported anymore by nvidia's proprietary stuff

#

try the Nouveau driver

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 10:07 AM

#

gusty pulsar

try the bottom one. that's open source n free one

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 10:07 AM

#

already try it and didn't work

#

i got this message when install the driver manually

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 10:10 AM

#

what's the process you did to install it manually?

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 10:10 AM

#

sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.146.02.run

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 10:11 AM

#

wet escarp what's the process you did to install it manually?

I download it from Nvidia website

wet escarp Jan 7, 2024, 10:11 AM

#

yeah .. that's prob causing issue

#

cuz I believe they stopped providing suport for older cards and yours is about 10 yrs. so they may not have put the right colde in the 535, plus that one is now conflicting with other 535 from mint repo

#

will have to ask the others how to purge all of that

#

once that's all gone n clean, then the 390 should work

#

otherwise you'll have to just login in software render mode

gusty pulsar I download it from Nvidia website

Did you check which version you're running or even with NVIDIA driver are you running

How do i check it?

sick torrent Jan 7, 2024, 10:29 AM

#

There's dedicated GeForce now driver and 3 Linux drivers, 525.x.x(LTS), 525.x.x (Stable latest), 545.x.x(Bleeding edge)

#

@gusty pulsar check the NVIDIA xorg manager if its there or uhh

#

@gusty pulsar run NVDIA-SMI on the terminal

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 10:31 AM

#

ok

sick torrent Jan 7, 2024, 10:31 AM

#

@gusty pulsar if its not working at all, with the age of your GPU let the kernel run the Nouveau drivers since its fully supported by the open source drivers

sick torrent Jan 7, 2024, 10:36 AM

#

@gusty pulsar install the 390 from the driver manager not the site

#

The .run might be a format issue

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 10:38 AM

#

Hello

#

Let me read back give me a moment

sick torrent Jan 7, 2024, 10:40 AM

#

you never install drivers from official sites on Linux @gusty pulsar that's how Windows work and that's why it has so many issues

gusty pulsar Jan 7, 2024, 10:42 AM

#

gusty pulsar Let me read back give me a moment

capitals?

I encountered this before, and in my case it was the cable. Unplugged and re-plugged, I think I also rebooted, and the display was detected correctly again.

#

Also make sure the cable is connected to the graphics card, most mainboards have their own plugs for iGPU usage.

Take a look at the output of inxi -Ffxxxr under graphics. It will tell you what driver and other information about your graphics.
