I just build my new computer and installed Ubuntu 16.04 on the SSD. Now as this is the first time using Ubuntu, I really need some advice on how to get this working together:

First problem: My screen native resolution isn't listed in the available resolution. Screen: benQ GW2270hw, native resolution: 1920x1080.

Second problem: I don't know how to install the NVIDIA drivers, I think the machine doesn't even detect the GPU (GTX 1050). If I type lspci | grep VGA it returns: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1c81 (rev a1)

Third problem: I need to be able to install my internet on Ubuntu. It's a vodaphone usb stick and it doesn't get detected when plugged in the new build.

Some detailed help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: internet is now working

Thanks :)

Solution to:

  • First problem: Because the proper drivers are not installed.
  • Drivers can be installed in two ways:
    • First method is via Software Sources.
    • Second method is relevant if you want the latest driver (even if it is in beta/alpha).
  • Third problem: You need to check if the vendor even supports linux or not.

Link to get your driver for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (NOT 1050Ti).
