But due to the way that we collaborate with NVidia nowadays these problems are very rare, and what we recommend is to use "the latest one" available for your GPU model. Alternatively, you can install the public drivers and bring your own license. The options offered by AWS come with the necessary license for the driver. For this reason, in the past there was always a "supported driver". Option 1: AMIs with the NVIDIA drivers installed. NOTE: In some occasions in the past, a particular driver had bugs and was not recommended. It may offer additional configuration steps (wacom, multiGPU) When it finishes execute:Īt this point the system will go back to graphics mode, already using the new driver.ģ - Check that the new driver is running (use nvidia-settings), and also check it after the next reboot.Ĥ - Open mConfig a first time. Now follow instructions answering with the default answers. If not sure execute "ls" to see the list of files.)

(where n is the file that you have downloaded. Init 3 (at this point you will go into text only mode) Then execute these commands in a console to install the driver: Note: Dual GPU systems are only possible to build with GPUs that can work with the same driver.Ģ - Let's suppose you have downloaded the driver to /home/mistika/Downloads. This will ensure that you keep graphics GUI most of the time. Note: If you are going to install a newer GPU, best practice is to first download the driver and install it. 1 - Go to NVidia website and download the latest driver for your graphics card (choose the one for Linux 64 bit)
