Hello. I installed Ubuntu Mate 24 instead of 22 on 2 PCs. Although it's alpha It's quite stable , but I get some problems. I do clean install UEFI mode dual boot with Win10.
-
Software Boutique and Welcome don't work. Solved by uninstall as I not use them.
-
update-grub not update timeout
I have GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 in etc/default/grub
But Grub always waits about 30s -
broken locale (mixed English interface) Probably after cleaning with Bleachbit
Only on one PC. On second PC I fixed it but don't remember how
-
Most important:
I know I need Nvidia driver 390. but driver installer don't show any drivers.
I tried this ppa, Proprietary GPU Drivers : “Graphics Drivers” team
but adding ppa broke sources chooser & driver installer
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
- sudo apt update
- after
sudo apt installI getnvidia-graphics-drivers-390not found - running software-properties-gtk gives error

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/graphics-drivers-ubuntu-ppa-noble.sources
glxinfo | grep OpenGL shows me:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa.
Should't it be something like Nvidia or Nouveau?
Is any trick for install this driver or should I return to Ubuntu 22 on PC with older Nvidia?
- Second most important: Firefox not update. I disabled auto-updates, because I'd like to always make Timeshift backup before update. And Firefox (snap version) is still in 123 version (newest is 124)
Solved: Firefox update withsudo snap refresh firefox
