安装驱动步骤

添加ppa源

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

使用USTC PPA源代理

# 我这里是 Ubuntu 18.04 因而为 bionic，根据你的 Ubuntu 版本修改
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/graphics-drivers-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/graphics-drivers-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list.bak
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/graphics-drivers-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list

将文件内容注释掉（#），添加新行：

deb https://launchpad.proxy.ustclug.org/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu bionic main
# 注意替换 bionic 为你的 Ubuntu distro 版本

这样就成功使用了USTC的代理，理论上来说会快一点（实测速度更稳定，但没有快很多）。

接下来更新软件源缓存：

sudo apt update

安装驱动

此命令可以查看当前设备可以安装的版本。

输出如下：

~$ ubuntu-drivers devices
== /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.5/0000:02:00.0 ==
modalias : pci:v000010DEd00001E07sv000010DEsd000012A4bc03sc00i00
vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
driver   : nvidia-driver-535 - third-party non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-545 - third-party non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-470 - third-party non-free recommended
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

此命令将自动选择一个合适的版本，也可以通过sudo apt install手动安装上面列出的版本之一，例如：

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470

报错了…

错误排查

不出意外的话，要出意外了：

ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-5.4.0-150-generic is not supported
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.4.0-150-generic (x86_64)

看一下已安装的驱动是什么版本：

ls /usr/src | grep nvidia

查看到是 470.223.02 版本，手动重试一下：

sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 470.223.02

还是报了一样的错误，但蹦了一个log：/var/lib/dkms/nvidia/470.223.02/build/make.log

查看log发现是编译过程出错了，于是立刻想到了gcc和g++编译器上，一看版本——哦豁，gcc 4.8……难怪会失败。

离谱的是，系统安装了gcc/g++ 7，当前使用的却是4.8，真让人摸不着头脑。

好在切换一下就可以解决此问题：

sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
sudo update-alternatives --config g++

输入这两行命令之后，会询问你要使用哪个版本的编译器作为默认版本，选最新的即可。

再试一次

sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 470.223.02

这次没有报错了，构建成功：

~$ sudo dkms install -m nvidia -v 470.223.02

重启系统

此时还不能高兴太早，先重启一下再看看：

sudo reboot

重启之后，再看看显卡：

nvidia-smi

问题解决，显卡可以正确识别到了：
