Need Help Reverting My GPU Driver Installation on Ubuntu

Asked By ChillPanda42 On

I recently upgraded my GPU drivers on my Lenovo Loq 15, and I'm worried I might have installed the wrong version. I followed instructions on a website, but after launching Uncharted: Lost Legacy this morning, the menu screen turned all red. I'm using Ubuntu as my distro, and I feel a bit lost on how to revert the driver installation. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

What GPU are you using? What driver did you install? Also, can you check the output of `nvidia-smi`? That could help clarify things.

I'm using a 5050 and I installed the Ubuntu 580 version. I didn’t catch the output from `nvidia-smi`, but it said the download was successful.

There's a script you can use, called `aptrollback`, that should completely undo your last driver installation. If you haven't made other installations since then, it should restore everything to how it was. Just a note: using Timeshift before making such changes is a good practice for the future. Do you know how to run a script from your /home directory?
