== How to determine the version and origin of proprietary drivers installed by Additional Drivers? ==* http://askubuntu.com/questions/20531/how-to-determine-the-version-and-origin-of-proprietary-drivers-installed-by-addiHow can I tell which version and from which repository the Additional Drivers tool is trying to install the fglrx graphics driver?It says that I have a different version of the driver in use. I installed the driver from maverick/restricted and apt-cache tells me it's from a regular Ubuntu mirror. The installed version is the same as the candidate version.Can I get Additional Drivers to tell me what it would install if I activated the driver through it? Is it possible Additional Drivers just assumes it's a different version since it was installed by a different process?10.10 package-management drivers proprietary The "Additional Drivers" (aka jockey-gui) GUI tool can't tell you much and it can be easily confused. If you've used cli commands to install the right driver then you don't need to use the gui tool.It sounds like you know how to use apt-cache to search for the versions available.So use jockey-text to find the list of drivers and the packages: jockey-text -lOn my machine this looks like: kmod:nvidia_current - nvidia_current (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use) pkg:sl-modem-daemon - Software modem (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use)kmod stands for kernel module, pkg is obviously an apt package. According to the code, jockey installs the latest candidate package and ignores any detectable kernel modules or blacklisted modules. I have tried many ways without succes, but this did work on me (Ubuntu 12.10): /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test --printOne reason is that I have Nvidia Optimus card and that makes thing harder, so I added optirun before the command.== lshw -c video ==output for Shuttle XPC *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: C68 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 12 bus info: pci@0000:00:12.0 version: a2 width: 64 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: pm msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 resources: irq:21 memory:fb000000-fbffffff memory:e0000000-efffffff memory:fc000000-fcffffff memory:c0000000-c001ffff== Install NVIDIA GeForce driver in Ubuntu 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10 / 12.04 using PPA ==* http://www.howopensource.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-geforce-driver-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-using-ppa/nstall the latest NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver (version 304.108 / 319) in Ubuntu 13.10 / 13.04 / 12.10 / 12.04 / 11.10 / 11.04 / 10.04 using PPA.
