After trying the solutions in the links below, I was not successful.
I’m trying to get an Nvidia 970M working on a Linux Mint 18 laptop.
I’m trying this process:
sudo apt purge nvidia-*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get install nvidia-390
The drivers seem to be installed, however I normally check things like this by using nvidia-smi. Currently I get nvidia-smi: command not found. I’m not sure where I should expect nvidia-smi to be installed in the process.
I’ve then installed the CUDA 9.1 toolkit from the NVIDIA download link. It c…
According to your bug report, you haven’t yet installed the nvidia driver: “/var/log/nvidia-installer.log does not exist”.
Also, according to your “lspci -nn”, the only “VGA compatible controller” is a “Intel Corporation Device [8086:9a60] (rev 01)”. The only NVidia device is the “0000:01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:25a0] (rev a1)”. Is there something in your configuration (bios?) blocking the NVidia VGA ?
The command “sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall” runs, but on reboot my notebook no longer enters linux mint (seems to be waiting for a driver).
The “official” driver Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver | 465.31 | Linux 64-bit | NVIDIA does not install, shows error.
Any light?

What nvida package is needed for this sh script to be available? I am currently using my OS by xorgs

It gets installed alongside the driver. Of course, the driver needs to be installed to find the cause for your problems.

The nvidia driver is installed fine, the problem is your intel igpu which is not supported by the GA 5.4 kernel. Please upgrade to the hwe kernel:

sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04
Generix, thank you, your contribution was of great value. He’s got it all right now.
