No proprietary drivers are in use + "ubuntu-drivers list" no output

Support & Help Requests
1

Hi,
I have installed Mate 20.04 but the Software & Updates > Ubuntu software > Proprietary drivers| option does not display anything.
Below I see " no proprietary drivers are in use", but I have installed the Nvidia drivers and others !!.
I have made sudo apt update. All OK but no result.
I have linked the repository ppa.launchpad.net/graphic-drivers and Canonical Partner. I made the reload. Nothing.
If I type $ ubuntu-drivers devices or $ ubuntu-drivers list , not display anything.
Perhaps there is a problem in the security settings loaded when the system boots ?

This shows you have a Nvidia card but the driver is nouveau.

if you type, ubuntu-drivers devices do you get a list of available drivers?

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall should install what's appropriate for your h/w.

this link may help...

Thank you for the quick replay.
With $ ubuntu-drivers autoinstall i receive : No drivers found for installation.
I Have installed the last driver that supported NVIDIA Geforce 6200 (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64.304.125) but I don't see it in Software &Updates>proprietary drivers. So I installed it by hand but, just at the end it says like "not succeed in rebuilt kernel".
But I don't understand why the ubuntu-drivers list command gave no output.

Maybe you need to uninstall the nvidia driver (purge everything nvidia) and start again.

I don't know how you installed your driver, it should be listed. The DKMS module could not be built. So, start from the beginning and hopefully you will have success.
