Upgrading to nvidia-driver-550 doesn't bring the latest

Hi I’m trying to upgrade to nvidia-driver-550 on ubuntu 20.04.
I don’t get the latest version (550.107.02), but an earlier one (550.90.12).

Here’s what I do:

sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-* -y
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550 -y
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y
sudo prime-select nvidia
reboot

I need the latest version as I install other SW that depends on it.

Your help is much appreciated,
Adi

The distributions decide independently which releases of certain drive trains they provide through their package manager, NVIDIA does not have much influence here.

If you need the newer version urgently then you will have to go through manual installation by downloading from here: Download The Latest Official NVIDIA Drivers

It is important to note that you MUST remove any previous installed drivers that got installed through package manager. These installation methods should not be mixed.

And make sure to read the README file when downloading the driver manually.

Thanks

Thanks you,

I have managed to install the nvidia-driver manually. How do I install libnvidia-compute-550 and libnvidia-compute-550?

Those should already be part of either CUDA or the driver installation itself.
