I'm looking for a similar quest, But instead for a Proprietary Video driver. I'm running 16.04LTS, and my machine has a NVIDEA GTX card. Occasionally, the internet service goes wonky at home, so I'll downgrade to the generic X.ORG Nouveau driver, shut-down, eject the main boot drive, and take it with me with a Laptop & an external dock, to a local coffee shop (Better than hauling the whole desktop server to there.) I'll boot the drive externally on the laptop, run the updates (apt-get update/upgrade ,) power-down, bring the drive back home, re-insert to the main machine, then reboot.. BUT.... I cannot return to the proprietary driver... resulting, slugging running video. Can the proprietary drivers be recovered, and reinstalled? Or, do I simply have to wait til the Internet is back up local to the server? Thanks, Stephen (gelfling6)
