Check nvidia driver version ubuntu
Nvidia-319 - Transitional package for nvidia-319 Nvidia-310 - Transitional package for nvidia-310 Nvidia-304 - NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.125 List available drivers via % apt-cache search nvidia | grep -P '^nvidia-(driver-)?+\s' Nevertheless, my question here makes sense independently of the real solution in my situation. (Off-topic explanation of my reason to want to inspect and switch the nvidia driver)īecause I might be experiencing problems with running SketchUp under wine because of the nvidia driver, as reported there.Īn off-topic UPDATE: actually, it turned out later that this is another known nvidia-unrelated problem (see under "Tips") (found via " Sketchup not responding"), which must be fixed in wine-1.7.31 this version or later is available in the Ubuntu Wine repository for Trusty or later, so I'd need to upgrade from my 12.04 (Precise) to Trusty to use those packages.
Nor an additional-drivers app in the menu, nor such a program (checked by locate), nor such an installable package (checked by apt-cache search). In 12.04, I have neither an additional-drivers tab in update-manager: How to switch the one being used? Re: additional-drivers Parm: NVreg_InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations:intĮRROR: modinfo: could not find module to find out which one is being used? Vermagic: 3.11.0-26-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 686 Modinfo knows about several nvidia drivers installed in the system ( nvidia_173 and nvidia_331), but lsmod just calls it nvidia (and modinfo nvidia fails): $ modinfo nv I'm trying to find out which Nvidia driver is being used currently in the system (and how to perhaps switch it to another version or the open-source nouveau driver).
