Hi, I try to install Nvidia drivers with a suggested package of Ubuntu and I receive message error, I try to install with the file 390.157 and receive the same message, are you working to solve this?
uname -a:
Linux Z210 6.5.0-21-generic #21~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Feb 9 13:32:52 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The 390 series is no longer supported. Please see Support timeframes for Unix legacy GPU releases | NVIDIA for more information.
Same issue.
Do any newer NVIDA drivers support a GTX 550 GPU?
Is there any workaround (in meantime I switched to a GTX 750 GPU with 550.54.14)?
Out of support drivers are only kept alive through user/distro patching. Seems canonical hasn’t yet decided whether the 390 driver will be kept

Meanwhile, you could use the ppa a user created

I hope this driver will support at least until Ubuntu 24.04 lts version. If nvidia decided not to support this driver anymore I hope Nvidia will open the legacy driver on GitHub so anyone can contribute to develop the driver for feature use.
I really want use latest Ubuntu lts version :)
I put a new package in the nvidiaexp PPA for running 390 on Ubuntu 24.04 with 6.8 kernel.
I can only test that package builds/installs in a VM. Please test it and let me know if it works. Hopefully, it does, and I don’t have to bother with it for 5 more years. ;)
EDIT: And don’t hold your breath on Nvidia open-sourcing anything.
The driver 390 is now installed but i have no visual.
When i start i have visual, but when gdm will start i don’t any visual anymore.
The Geforce GT730 is NOT a outdated card. You can order it totaly new on every webshop and distributor.
The geforce GT710 is working with the Nvidia 470 driver, why does the GT730 not and is a ‘outdated’ card.
The GT 730 is not a outdated card but a lowbudget card, such like the GT710, and the GT610.
Is this using the nvidiaexp PPA? What version of Ubuntu?
Note that the GT730 had a few different variants. One of the variants was a rebadged GT630 with a Fermi core and was only supported up to 390.xx, while the other variants are Kepler core an should work with 470.xx
Also, just because you can buy it new doesn’t mean it is still manufactured or it was made any time recently.
Hi, I tried installing the nvidia-390 from ppa:dtl131/nvidiaexp, but can’t boot into gui after that. All I see is a non-blinking underline cursor.
If I press ctrl+alt+F2, I’m able to login to TTY. Then, I can launch the gnome shell with gnome-shell --wayland, the shell starts, but with all settings reset to default (background, color profile, fonts, icons etc). Still can’t find a way to make it start as it should, automatically.
What could be the culprit? I tried renaming ~/.config/dconf as someone suggested somewhere, to no avail.
I’m on Ubuntu 22.04. Wayland worked flawlessly with the old 390 driver for me before kernel 6.5 broke it.
