PC Build:




  • X11SAT-F Supermicro Mobo

  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2

  • Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz × 8


  • Ubuntu 18.04 x 64



    I tried:




sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update



Rebooted my PC and ran the software update GUI and got the options
Available Graphics drivers, no Proprietary drivers



*418 is the proper driver version for my card according to the Nvidia website.



Several forums have posts on similar issues but after purging and reconstructing the repository, they seem to get a proprietary option. I have purged and reupdated the repository several times but still just get the "Open Source" driver options which don't have the Nvidia control panel.



Does anyone know how I can get force the repository to get the official Nvidia drivers.
