Good morning I can’t install the GeForce 730 drivers on linux mint, I tried to install from driver manager both the recommended proprietary 340 driver and the 390 but on reboot before login the screen stays black with a dash and dot in the upper left corner and freezes. I tried to install the nvidia .run file but the terminal tells me it is not supported. Can you help me install the drivers? ---

It’s a Fermi based gpu so the 390 driver has to be used. Please install it using the driver manager, then run nvidia-bug-report.sh as root and attach the resulting nvidia-bug-report.log.gz file to your post. ---

Don’t use the runfile installer of legacy drivers, those won’t compile on recent kernels. ---

There’s another solution : if all this did not work, simply get back to older 5.15.0.xxx kernels and install ubuntu 22.04 LTS again. This Nvidia card, isn’t supported anymore and Nvidia don’t provide drivers anymore except the 390.xxx old driver. In Linux, there are Nouveau2 drivers, but you won’t have needed accelerations, and you won’t be able to play games without “lag” and “tearing”. After doing this (and supress newer kernels), you will be able to use Nvidia private driver again with all acceleration, with the program Nvidia-settings enabled. Once you installed the old 5.15.0.134 kernel again (not 6.x.xxx series), you have to go to “other drivers”, and choose the private Nvidia driver for Nvidia geforce gt 730, with 390.xxx package. You click on it, wait for the install to complete, and you will see the nvidia-settings icon appear in “activities”, and you are all set. ---

## My solutions When booting, select Start Linux Mint (compatibility mode). After that, choose Recovery with kernel 5.15xx. Continue by opening the terminal with the option “root drop to root shell prompt”. Then press Enter, and you will be in terminal mode. Proceed by running the command: ` sudo nano /etc/default/grub ` Next, edit the line: ` GRUBCMDLINELINUX\_DEFAULT=“quiet splash” ` to become: ` GRUBCMDLINELINUX\_DEFAULT=“quiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1” ` Save it, then update grub sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Final reboot the system sudo reboot * * * this allowed me to bypass the black screen and actually load into the desktop.
