I am trying to install Nvidia driver on my Ubuntu 18.04.
When i check for sudo ubuntu-drivers devices, there is no output.
I have already checked the option for "Proprietary devices for drivers" in Software and Updates as suggested here.
The Additional Drivers tab shows :

No additional drivers available.

What am I missing ?


Output of
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

is:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    Subsystem: Dell Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    Kernel modules: i915
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
    Subsystem: Dell Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03)
    Subsystem: Dell 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller

  • Please edit your question and add output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' terminal command.

  • Sorry if my question seems a little silly but are you sure you have an Nvidia GPU ? Even if you don't have the driver for that , you should be able to see the device in the output of lspci because those are the results of SMBIOS probes.It doesn't need any driver to succeed. Jul 8, 2020 at 7:25
  • Okay i see, i do not have NVIDIA graphics card. so i will not be able to add drivers for it. that was so foolish of me !
