LL 3.4 x64 - Didn't install nVidia driver on fresh install - Ottawagrant - 03-31-2017
Just wanted to mention that I did a fresh install when LL 3.4 came out this morning. First time this has happened. Installed the OS, rebooted & it didn't install the nVidia 304 legacy driver. Also showed no driver available in the install drivers GUI. First time that ever happened. Just went over to Synaptic & added it manually. So for anyone who has a similar computer. As they say in the Hitchiker's guide - don't panic! Open synaptic, edit < Reload package information. When it's done updating click search < (in the little box put) nvidia & hit enter. Scroll down to find the nvidia driver that best suites your computer. My configuration works best with the 304 driver. As I've mentioned before I will never buy another computer with proprietary drivers, but thank you! to Linux Lite (which works perfectly with this computer) because Windows 10 won't! nVidia classifies my computer as 'old', & I should buy a new one.

Did you follow the steps on Lite Welcome after you installed? ie. Install Updates then Install Drivers?

*groan* No, I didn't. That's exactly what I was suppose to do & didn't. May all readers of this forum post learn from my ignorance. Even though Jerry has posted that hundreds of times telling us what to do after a fresh install. Follow procedure? Huh? Who, me? What for? May I spend the rest of eternity assembling Ikea furniture with no manual, or tools.
