This is my hardware

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface

WARNING: You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 352.30 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system.  
ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing.  For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  
You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.

How can I use the 352.30 module anyway?

  • This is what you need, the latest drivers are not supported on this GPU, you have a hybrid GPU bumblebee can utilize this – Mark Kirby Aug 01 '15 at 11:10

A much better way to install 352 driver is running in terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 nvidia-prime

and reboot.

  • +1, but is there a reason for `sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa`? – A.B. Aug 02 '15 at 11:11

    @A.B. Anyway it is not safe to keep the ppa connected. Who knows what they may upload there ;-) Previously there used to be lots of problems. And this will avoid the question: after update Ubuntu does not boot ))) – Pilot6 Aug 02 '15 at 11:13
  • Ah ok, I agree =) – A.B. Aug 02 '15 at 11:14
  • Okay, but is there **even a reason** for `add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa`? That PPA [doesn't contain any packages](https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=nvidia&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=) whose name contain `nvidia`. – theV0ID Sep 20 '15 at 21:56

    They've been removed recently. I will change the answer. Things change in this world. @theV0ID – Pilot6 Sep 20 '15 at 22:00
