Public bug reported:
I installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04 32 bit from the daily builds on an old PC
with an Nvidia GeForce 6200 card. After installation and applying all
available updates I went to "Additional Drivers" and installed the
recommended Nvidia driver 304.131 As part of that install nvidia-
settings version 352.21 was installed. When I accessed nvidia-settings
I find the "menu" (left column) containing only:
Application Profiles
nvidia-settings Configuration.
I had previously installed Ubuntu Mate 15.10 on the same PC (different
hard drive) and installed the same Nvidia drivers. The same version of
nvidia-settings was also installed. This time nvidia-settings lists:
X Server Information
X Server Display Configuration
X Screen 0
X Screen 1
GPU 0 - (GeForce 6200)
nvidia-settings Configuration
The X Screen and GPU entries have additional options under each main
topic. Please note that I already had two monitors configured as
separate X screens on the 15.10 OS when I wrote down the above list.
(Doing this added the X Screen 1 topic.)
On the 16.04 OS I started over and reinstalled everything. Same issue.
I installed the OS, added the repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa and
installed nvidia-current. Based on the video card in my system the
Nvidia driver 304.131 and nvidia-settings 352.21 were again installed
and produced the same results.
n.b. In an attempt to see what the "menu" looked like on 15.10 before I
setup the separate X screens I uninstalled the Nvidia driver using the
Additional Drivers feature - going back to Nouveau. I invoked nvidia-
settings. In this case it showed only the two menu choices as described
on 16.04. This makes me think that the Nvidia drivers are perhaps not
really being installed on 16.04. Perhaps that will provide a clue.
Please advise if I can provide any additional information.
