Laptop, unable to install discrete graphics card GTX 880M
- by FoxyShadoww
So I've bought the GT70 2PE Dominator Pro a few weeks ago and I installed Zorin OS 9 Ultimate on it. Today I tried to install the Nvidia drivers on my laptop since it has the GTX 880M, but my system became unbootable. Can anyone help me with this issue? I will write down what I've tried so far.
This is what I've tried so far:
Downloaded the newest Nvidia drivers from their website.
Pressed CTRL+ALT+F2 to open the terminal page thingy.
Logged in and got root access.
Stopped the lightdm service.
Ran the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.32.run installer.
Pressed the accept button and right after that it told me the following message: The distribution-provided pre-install script failed! Continue installation anyway?. When I install anyway, it will crash my system and makes it unbootable,
Does anyone know how to use my GTX 880M? Do I need to enable it on boot time somehow?
Thanks for the support,
Sapphire ~
