#Check graphics card ubuntu 20.04 drivers#

I tried older drivers like 430, 450, 460, 465 and 470 and no matter what I did I could not get the GPU to function correctly through XCP-NG. I tried installing from the official Ubuntu PPA, the Nvidia PPA, I tried upgrading Ubuntu to the latest release 21.10. I was able to get the TV tuner working and it could scan channels, etc, and the GPU was also detected by Ubuntu, however no matter what I did I could not get the latest Nvidia drivers working and some of the hardware details aren't complete. List of tested games (and soft) goes way longer than previously counted for.What I was hoping to do was use PCI/GPU passthrough to pass through the GPU and TV Tuner to a Ubuntu server running Plex media server. Dirt Rally, Human: Fall Flat, Spintires and Rising World work, but lagging or bugged. While Stronghold Crusader 2, Metro 2033: Last Light, Tomb Rider, Stanly Parable, EuroTruckSim, GA:Rome and all other games from Valve worked flawlessly. While I do not deal with any video/image editing, I’d predict those affect effects of those as well (image transformations, buggy slideshows, etc)įor example CS:GO, WarThunder and SuperLiminal, also FarmingSimulator #, Stronghold 2, steam’s DukeNukem3D and Rise of Nations had issues, Weirdly enough anti-alias and related technologies have issues on natives with exception of valve games while these features work on wine programs (some introduce artifacts though)?!

Why would I hope proprietary driver could improve experience: It’s real hit and miss with games though (equally with natives and wine/proton). In past I usually do not take any effort to hinder the system, unless I have actual proper graphics card, as with integrated Intel and nVidia has proven unworthy the dedication (Ubuntu have had good enough driver packed along for those).Īctually default driver works relatively well for general purpose usage.

So the real question would be, how much of a point it would have messing with this - and taking risk on system stability.Īlso in longrun while remaining on given 20.04 LTS for this PC (for superior stability).

Supported versions are X.Org 6.9 or later, up to XServer 1.10. But this in turn would have unmet dependencies against required versions of supported kernel, xserver, etc ('. There is latest official deb version available for 14.04, so presumably one should use buildable version. If I have old and integrated: A8 6500 Radeon HD 8570D Would there be any notable gain of proprietary version for me, Hopefully answering question is useful for others like me. Installing proper AMD driver resolved a strange system-hangs-for-few-seconds and unable-to-click-buttons-regularly issue on a system with three monitors.ĭisclaimer all info provided here as-is, without warranties of any kind.Īsk here as AMD & Radeon is totally alien for me, as I’ve previously always had some form of nVidia or Intel. Use ls *kernel_version* to find right files. Sudo dpkg -l | egrep -i -color 'linux-image|linux-headers'Īnd, note that kernels are stored in /boot and in /var/lib/dpkg/info. Sudo apt-get clean & sudo apt-get -purge autoremove Commands that may come in handy in this case (when you are trying to cleanup an newer (or older) kernel): sudo update-grub

In that case, reinstall the latest standard Ubuntu kernel, remove newer/custom kernel, run the above full amdgpu driver uninstall and apt-get autoremove untill all is clear, reboot (absolutely required as otherwise your kernel list would be tainted and install of the amdgpu driver will fail), reinstall the amdgpu driver which should work now. There is also a bug in the script where even if you say ‘n’ and cancel on the installation, some packages will be kept and you will need to run the uninstall and purge first before you can re-install.Īlways make sure the install completes succesfully and debug any errors seen before rebooting (or reboot may get stuck, and that is harder to troubleshoot).Īlso, if you have a newer (or custom) kernel installed then what is supported by the amdgpu driver, things will break. I have seen this several times in the past too.

In my case, I had to go through several rounds of: sudo su
