How to Install Nvidia Drivers on Ubuntu 22.04

Installing the correct Nvidia drivers on your Ubuntu 22.04 system is crucial for optimal graphics performance and resolution. In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 22.04.

Before we begin, it's essential to detect the model of your NVIDIA graphic card and the recommended driver. To do this, open the Ubuntu Terminal by pressing `CTRL + ALT + T`. If the terminal doesn't open automatically, you can type the command in the run dialog box.

Once in the terminal, execute the following command to detect the devices:

```

ubuntu-drivers devices

```

This will display a list of detected devices and their corresponding drivers. Take note of your graphic card model and recommended driver.

Next, ensure that your system is up-to-date by running the following commands:

```

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

```

Now, we need to detect the model of NVIDIA graphic card and the recommended driver. You can do this by executing the following command in the terminal:

```

$ ubuntu-drivers devices

$ sudo apt update & sudo apt upgrade

```

The output will resemble the following:

```

/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 = modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001380sv00001043sd000084BEbc03sc00i00

vendor : NVIDIA Corporation

model : GM107

manual_install: True

driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free

driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free

recommended driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

```

To fix the low-resolution display issue, you'll need to install the correct Nvidia driver. In my case, I had a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750 TI graphics card installed in the machine, and I was experiencing a resolution of 960x540 on my monitor which has a native resolution of 1368x768.

After proper Linux installation, the first problem I faced was a low-resolution display, which was totally annoying given that I have a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750 TI graphics card installed in the machine. Last night, I installed Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver Linux on my desktop PC by completely wiping out Windows 7 OS.

By following these steps and installing the correct Nvidia driver, you should be able to resolve the low-resolution display issue and enjoy optimal graphics performance on your Ubuntu 22.04 system.
