Package: nvidia-driver
Severity: normal
My nvidia card has stopped working in anything other than 1024x768 mode
since Linux 4.5. Seeing as this makes my desktop unusuable I thought I'd
ditch the nouveau driver and try the nvidia driver.
However that won't install
apt-get install nvidia-driver

Hi,
It says there nvidia-support is not installable, can you please try to
install that package individually and report what the error is?
Thanks for your response. Here is what I get, I hope it helps:
# apt-get install nvidia-support

Package nvidia-support is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'nvidia-support' has no installation candidate
Kind regards,
