Nvidia 304 driver install in 18.04

Hi grenouille

1- Followed the procedure for adding the ppa.

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

2- Ran driver update and the 304.137 driver shows up in the list.

3 -Select the 304 by clicking the radio button and then click apply changes.

Problem:

  • After clicking “Apply Changes” the check mark next to the 304 driver jumps back to the Nouveau driver option, can’t make it stick.

  • Tried changing the server to main from the Canadian…same thing happens.

Any insight into how to make this selection stick?
