Linux and NVIDIA drivers

[sour_doh]

Having trouble getting nvidia drivers installed on Ubuntu 18.05. Tried damn near everything but when i look at my cards, i'm not showing the nvidia drivers installed. Are there any good tutorials out there for getting them installed?

Thanks in advance!

I'll suggest giving Ubuntu 16.04 a try as it will have a better community support for your issues.
Anyway, there is plenty of custom Linux firmwares built for mining such as nvOC for Nvidia, Give it a try.

How did you try to install the drivers? I could successfully setup a machine with this.

Code:

sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-396

If you also want to compile the ccminer, you will need a few more steps.

I don't remember the exact steps, but I really do appreciate these!

One addition, you can use

Code:

sudo apt install nvidia-current

to install the current version and don't have to manually upgrade it everytime.
