Try to remove the installed drivers by running:
sudo apt-get purge nvidia* sudo apt remove nvidia-* sudo apt autoremove see which is the recommended driver for your Nvidia card by running:
ubuntu-drivers devices If you want to install the driver automatically, run :
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall If you want to install a specific driver, run:
sudo apt install nvidia-<driver number> Once the installation is finished, run prime-select query to check which graphic card is being used by your device.
If you want to change the graphic card used by your PC, run : sudo prime-select <intel/ nvidia>; choose between Nvidia and Intel graphic cards.
After that, restart your PC to apply changes
The solution is to run
sudo apt-get install nvidia-384 You don't need a run file for that.
Another option is to use Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers GUI for that purpose.
