youcan easily do a ( ubuntu-drives autoinstall ) this will be install for you the latest version of driver but if you need method more work you can download drive from nvidia.com/download/ search for your drive download for ubuntu and restart your pc and start it with safe mode go to download folder and install the download Nvidia driver i hope it is clear

Hi, my name is Giuseppe and I have a laptop (Lenovo X1 extreme) with the same 1050Ti GPU as you.

I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 but I have some problems selecting internal or nvidia GPU to run specific software and to use an external monitor.

You can help me?

I have tested both the tutorials and the drivers (470-460) and now I have tested your configuration.


Hello Giuseppe ,

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti is now fully compatible with 20.04. You can use the latest driver with no issues. I am sure it is working well as I use it for deep learning training.


Hi all.

given the problems with the external monitor and with the drivers, I formatted the laptop.

first try

I format and immediately on reboot I see that the pc had set the open source driver. I execute in the terminal add-repository of the graphic drivers among the list of drivers also the 495 appears. I select the 495 but at the next restart the pc starts without a graphic interface.


second test

format again. at the first restart the external monitor works and the laptop has automatically selected 470 drivers (proprietary, tested). at this point that everything works from the terminal and I run the update && upgrade command and at the new restart the external monitor has disappeared again.

the drivers are always 470 and if I try to open nvidia x server it is empty compared to before it was full of all parameters and options.


I explain to everyone the procedure I followed to solve the problems with the graphics card and the external monitor At the moment the following procedure works, I will update you if there are other problems. I formatted the Lenovo laptop with Geforce 1050 Ti and installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS After that I ran the following commands


I tried different procedures but each produced different problems:

external monitor not recognized

only the external monitor worked and not the laptop monitor

inability to choose the graphics card


I selected only the Nvidia card again

when restarting the external monitor works correctly

I had to send the command

sudo service lightdm restart

because around the cursor there was a strange box with the frozen image


I had Ubuntu 20.04 on a Dell Laptop with a GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile] connecting to a Thunderbold TB16 docking staging. After upgrading to 22.04 the second screen started misfunctioning. The second screen (the one connected to the docker station from an HDMI) is no longer working. It started working randomly (I had to reboot several times the laptop in order to recognise the screen). Now for some reason is not working at all.


I have been at this for days. I have a Lenovo Legion y520. It has 32GB of RAM, a 1TB ssd, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 ti with 4GB VRAM. I am trying to configure my computer for machine learning according to the following program.


I want to update my driver to the latest possible version and install the latest versions of CUDA, CUDNN, and Pytorch that will work with my machine so that I can begin to study and practise machine learning.


To answer some of your questions. The nvidia-smi output with the seemingly confusing CUDA version simply states that the GPU driver supports CUDA 12.2. The core drivers or if you will functionality of CUDA is already part of the driver. If you install CUDA as such it will include a fitting GPU driver and if you install an NVIDIA GPU driver as such it will contain support for appropriate CUDA version.


What allows you to do Compute or Machine Learning tasks is the CUDA toolkit. That means after installing a driver for your system you could simply check which (max) toolkit version is supported for that driver and install that.


Taking a step back, if you are sure you want to develop something using CUDA (not just run CUDA apps) the recommended way to install everything necessary is to do it based on the CUDA installation instructions. Those include steps that explain how the GPU driver gets installed and what pre-requisites are needed. You should also, when starting from a fresh Ubuntu, do the GPU/CUDA installation first, before changing package sources, kernel dependencies and DBUS-X11 configurations.


I recently installed new graphics cards in some of the computers of my colleagues, so they are not stuck with the Intel HD Graphics card when they work in Rhino. I updated the drivers of the new GTX 1050 cards on all systems and they are displayed correctly in the device manager.

Although when I open Rhino, it shows me that it still uses the Intel HD Graphics 4600 card. I found out that I can disable the Intel HD Graphics card in the device manager to let Rhino use the GTX, but then the monitors also need to run on the GTX which requires all different cables than we currently have.

I believe there should be a way to tell Rhino just to use the GTX card and ignore the Intel HD Graphics card.


None of these steps have any affect. Is there another setting or method that forces Rhino to see the NVIDIA graphics? Is it related to external monitors? Or is this just becoming a Rhino/NVIDIA bug? Any suggestions would be appreciated!


My question is are there ever any nvidia updates that would improve performance on an older card? I suspect that updates only include software affecting the latest cards. I have been bitten in the rear several times in the past by nvidia updates and have had to do system reinstalls as a result. Thus, I tremble whenever I see an nvidia update.


Nvidia driver updates contains stability fixes, feature updates and security updates. This can easily be found by using a search machine. To give you a understanding what kind of security issues get fixed:


the surface 2, nvidia gtx 1050 gpu driver crashes while working in fusion 360. relatively early on, and generally while positioning the model using the 3d mouse. there is actually a sound similar to a usb device being unplugged, followed by a message the graphics driver has stopped working. the nvidia gpu also disappears from the device manager listing until i reboot.


i have been using fusion for some time and this issue started very recently. i believe after the major windows 10 update a few weeks ago. i have used the same monitor (a samsung c49hg90dm using mini display port) without issues.


to try and resolve the issue, i did a factory restore on the surface book 2. Unfortunately, the problem persists. so far, i did not notice any problems while using autocad 2020 or inventor 2020. other software (such as adobe, for example) also appears to perform as intended.


I wouldn't think Fusion should struggle on a 1050. Its possible if the effects are enabled in fusion that is doing it. I'd normally suggest clean installing the video drivers, but a system refresh (if completely wiped and not just restored) should clear the drivers off.


I don't know what a security wipe is. But if you didn't fully reinstall a fresh OS then i would start with doing what @TrippyLighting suggests - not using the mouse - then download and reinstall new drivers from Nvidia - using advanced or custom install and select clean install graphics drivers


when doing the complete factory restore, windows 10 also offers a safety wipe which actually overwrites otherwise untouched data. this makes it more difficult to recover old data, if you were to donate your computer or something like that. so i am told.


Fusion is really at the mercy of Windows here. Like @Anonymous said, it does indeed sound like a windows issue. We've tried everything that normally fixes the issues should it be graphics drivers or peripherals.


With the latest kernel, computer crashes after about 20 mins. Moreover, with all kernels from 6.12 to 6.15 I am experiencing constant black flickering every two minutes or so (I have an 144Hz monitor). Additionally, firefox and gnome feel laggy without doing anything heavy.


If you have a problem, and would like assistance, please follow these steps: Please always include a detailed description of the problem (both when starting a new thread and when posting to existing threads), as distinct problems can have...


I have desktops with a 1050, and a 1050 TI, and a laptop with a 1660. All work really well with the 530 drivers, and the latest kernels on both F37 and F38 (and with both wayland and x11). My desktops have monitors with 60Hz refresh and the laptop has a screen with 144 refresh and sometimes an external monitor with 60Hz refresh at the same time.


The only things that I have installed are Inkscape and Dash to Panel extension. I had no problems before the driver update. I removed them but nothing changed. Check here also: Black flickering - 530.31.03


I have finally made the move over to Arch (having used EndeavourOS for quite a bit and before that Garuda and Manjaro).

Installation and everything went smooth; however, I am unable to get the Nvidia drivers to work with the Zen Kernel. The regular Linux Kernel works nice.

I follow the instructions here in the Wiki to install the drivers. Basically, installing the linux-zen-headers and the nvidia-dkms and nvidia-utils packages. I also installed the dkms package and lib32-nvidia. Finally I recreated initframfs using using mkinitcpio -P and then rebooted.


I have tried removing the kms HOOK in in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, but that does not change anything.. so I am out of ideas for now... it must be something really stupid, but I have no idea, what it could be.
