Public bug reported: I have a Dell Laptop with a NVS 5200M (0DFC) and wondered why ubuntu- drivers recommend the nvidia-driver-435 (and also the wrong driver 430). It won't work with these drivers.
$ ubuntu-drivers devices == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 == modalias : pci:v000010DEd00000DFCsv00001028sd00000535bc03sc00i00 vendor : NVIDIA Corporation model : GF108GLM [NVS 5200M] driver : nvidia-340 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-driver-435 - distro non-free recommended driver : nvidia-driver-430 - distro non-free driver : nvidia-driver-390 - distro non-free driver : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Release: 18.04 I found the modalias in the packages nvidia-driver-435 and also in the package of the nvidia-driver-430. In the Nvidia READMEs you can find that the NVS 5200M (0DFC) is only supported up to 390. I opened an issue on https://github.com/tseliot/nvidia-graphics- drivers/issues/36 and tseliot told me it could be a parsing problem of the Nvidia READMEs. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-430 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-435 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-430 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-430 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856166 Title: NVS 5200M not supported by 435, but is recommended by ubuntu-drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-430/+bug/1856166/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
