Questions tagged [ubuntu-drivers]

Set of tools that replaces Jockey for installing proprietary drivers in Ubuntu. If you need to automatically install proprietary drivers this is the tool to use. Please use the ubuntu-drivers tag for the autoinstall option of ubuntu-drivers instead of the autoinstall tag which is specific to the automated installation mode of Ubuntu Server.

Since 14.04, the command ubuntu-drivers replaces jockey which was superseded. ubuntu-drivers is available in the ubuntu-drivers-common package which needs to be installed beforehand.

How do you use ubuntu-drivers-common or software-properties in the command line to change graphics drivers?
