10. The video card options in the details may be unknown. You can use the following methods:

Sudo apt-get install mesa-utils

After installation:

I have also encountered another situation, and I will record it here.

At that time, an independent graphics card was added to the desktop. As a result, windows could recognize it normally, but Ubuntu would not work, so I had to reinstall Ubuntu.

However, after the video card is reinstalled, it cannot be identified and the screen is not highlighted, let alone the driver.

Finally, try again. The solution is to first install the system with an integrated graphics card, then go to the Ubuntu Software Center, search for nvidia, and install this:

Shut down, plug in the video card, and start it. log on to the system, and the video card can be used normally.
