Install the NVIDIA driver 390 on Linux Mint. NVIDIA has introduced a new version of graphics linux nvidia driver 390.

I have an ASUS UX50V laptop. Both Linux Mint 18 32-bit and Linux Mint 18.1 64-bit identify the video card as 'NVIDIA Corporation: G98M [GeForce G 105M]'. https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/UX50V/specifications/ concurs with the 105M designation.

I add 'ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa' as a software source, per https://johners.tech/2016/07/installing-the-latest-nvidia-graphics-drivers-on-linux-mint-18/, and then I see two nvidia options available to me:

  • nvidia-304 (NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.134)
  • nvidia-340 (NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.101)

Whenever I set it up to use either I get the following error message:

Here's /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the 32-bit install with the 304.xx driver:

Both logs have the same two errors:

I've tried both drivers and get the same result. Is the GeForce G 105M simply not supported? If so then why would Driver Manager list both as a suitable drivers?

Linux Mint Nvidia Drivers Update

I'd definitely start by looking at the Xorg logs. If Xorg crashes trying to load it should log the reasons why there. This is often due to incompatible versions of Xorg driver and vs kernel driver.

Linux Mint 19 Nvidia Drivers

According to the info at http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html, your video card requires the 340.xx driver; the older 304.xx does not show support for your card.

The error you're getting in the Xorg log is happening because it is loading the 304.134 kernel and X driver/modules -
[33.425] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 304.134 Fri Dec 9 12:08:55 PST 2016
[33.617] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 304.134 Fri Dec 9 11:48:48 PST 2016
and then it unloads it -
[33.658] (II) UnloadModule: 'nvidia'

I'd suggest two things.
First, make sure all versions of NVidia X and kernel drivers are uninstalled.
Then, install just the latest 340.xx driver.

I've had issues in the past where using a packaged driver (which it seems you are) and using the proprietary NVidia installer downloaded directly from their website, on the same machine but at different times, will end up with both installed and highly likely to be in conflict with one another.

Another possibility is the nouveau driver not being blacklisted. It generally should be, so the proprietary nvidia driver and the mainstream nouveau driver aren't both vying for control over your display adapter.
On my system, I have
$cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf
# generated by nvidia-installer
blacklist i915
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

You may have a file with similar contents with a different name. If you have no reference to blacklisting nouveau in your modprobe configs at all, you may want to try creating a file with those contents and depositing it in your /etc/modprobe.d directory, or the moral equivalent thereof on Mint.
