I've tried using the drivers for my nvidia on kali linux but it didn't worked and I saw online people didn't had that much issue using ubuntu so I went on mint and I still have the same issue.

#

I think i know what to do but I'm not sure and I don't wanna fucked up my installation even tho it'll take me just 5 min to reinstall mint

#

but yeah I just would like someone to guide me through it I guess

#

Why not just use the driver manager?

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

which is ?

#

I've never used one I don't know at all how this works

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:48 PM

#

Search it in the start menu

#

always been on trash alptop

#

I legit spent 2 hours trying to figure it out

#

I wanna kiss you

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

I’ve been in the same boat, dw

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

can I ask you something else real quick ?

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

Of course!

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

I have an asus motherboard and a amd cpu do I need some drivers for those like to update them or something

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

Should all be part of the Linux kernel. What Mint version are you running?

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

Okay, should be good then.

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

really

#

so now I'm good to go ?

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

Eeyup. AMD is nice enough to include their driver stuff with the kernel.

#

Anything else Linux doesn’t already come with would pop up in the Driver Manager.

#

At least as far as I’m aware.

#

Ya should be golden c:

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

maybe it's a dumb question but is it normal my screen is like that

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

Like what?

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

bad quality and really wide

#

#

damn

#

it's bad

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

Yeah, install the recommended nvidia driver, then just reboot

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

I did reboot lmao

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

Hm…

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

should I do it again ?

#

I don't mind it takes seconds

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

Is your monitor plugged into your GPU or Motherboard?

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

gpu

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

How long did the driver install take?

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking

#

Seems it didn’t install lol

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

#

I can try the 470

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

Can’t hurt, yes

#

Quite odd though

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

you know what lite hash rate means

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

Nope

#

Looked it up. Apparently it’s something to prevent crypto miners

#

Apparently just means the GPU isn’t meant for Crypto Mining

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 7:03 PM

#

yeah well nothing has changed I'm still stuck with this bad quality

#

#

I don't know why the driver is fucked up like that

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 7:04 PM

#

Hm…

#

I guess another option would be that install script you tried before.

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 7:06 PM

#

yep

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 7:07 PM

#

iirc you need to log out, go to the Terminal via Ctrl+Alt+F1 or smth, then kill the X server, then install it as sudo

#

At least that’s how I did it.

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 7:07 PM

#

not sure it's had easy as that

#

I have the nouveau stuff that's annoying also

#

gotta disable that

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 7:08 PM

#

Dunno about the nouveau stuff tbh. Never tried it.

#

blissful lake iirc you need to log out, go to the Terminal via Ctrl+Alt+F1 or smth, then kill ...

what's the command to kill it ?

#

I mean how do you recognize it

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 7:09 PM

#

Best to look that up. I’m not on my computer right now, and won’t be for another 6-7 hours :/

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 7:09 PM

#

alright thanks tho

blissful lake Aug 2, 2024, 7:09 PM

#

iirc mint uses lightdm, so just look up “how to kill lightdm”

#

Something like that

steep sinew Aug 2, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

well yeah it's sudo systemctl stop lightdm

#

I'm talking about this stuff Nouveau

#

but it's fine I'll figure it out lmao

#

thanks a lot
