I use a Ubuntu 15(desktop) + KDE Plasma 5 into a Vagrant Box. I have problem with my resolution screen.

For resolve this I want to install NVIDIA drivers on my Ubuntu. It seem to be more goodly than install this with the ppa way.

I'm helping with this official howto : Ubuntu NVIDIA install

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa => OK
  • sudo apt-get update => OK
  • ubuntu-drivers devices this return me this :

result ubuntu-drivers devices

If I try to install the official .run file NVIDIA I have another problem.

What is the process to install my NVIDIA GeForce 580GTX drivers on Ubuntu 15 ?

I need install VBoxGuestAdditions mandatory for using graphical drivers ?

I try with Ubuntu 15 and Unity :

To install the latest driver on Kubuntu, first remove that PPA from /etc/apt/sources.list in a terminal

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa

Now add this one

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Now install the latest driver

sudo apt-get install nvidia-358

and reboot

sudo reboot

In virtualBox nvidia-361 package freeze my VM. In a packer build VM I have this return error : virtualbox-iso: E: Impossible to find the package nvidia-361. I'm finding what it's happening and I tell you. – darkomen Jan 24 '16 at 22:41

Nothing change with install drivers. Also install nvidia-settings package but nothing change. – darkomen Jan 27 '16 at 21:25
    
Try install nvidia drivers directly on my vagrant launched with Ubuntu 15.04 (server + ubuntu-desktop). Install package nvidia ok but when I reboot and try to connect on screen login it redisplay again and again the screen login. I can't enter on my session. – darkomen Jan 30 '16 at 11:05
