    owner driver

    when I open the driver manager I get the message that my computer needs proprietary drivers but no one appears in the list to install someone knows how to solve

    you can , in a konsole do ,,

    Code:
    ubuntu-drivers devices
    you will get a list somewhat like this ,,

    Code:
    vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ ubuntu-drivers devices
    == /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0 ==
    vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
    modalias : pci:v000010DEd0000119Asv00001558sd00000376bc03sc00i00
    model    : GK104M [GeForce GTX 860M]
    driver   : nvidia-340 - third-party free
    driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin
    driver   : nvidia-396 - third-party free [COLOR=#ff0000]recommended[/COLOR]
    driver   : nvidia-390 - third-party free
    driver   : nvidia-384 - distro non-free
    if you want to install the "recommended" one then do

    Code:
    sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
    OR as for the one that was "recommended" in this example you can use the package manager and do .

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install nvidia-396
    or

    Code:
    sudo apt install nvidia-396

            As far as I can see, that video card no longer has proprietary drivers, so the open source driver you are already using is your only choice. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as AMD/Ati actually help create those free drivers.

            I do not know why you see a message saying you need drivers, perhaps it sees that you have AMD, so it prompts, then while it checks, it finds none. The driver Manager probably should say "hey, I didn't find anything, you are all set to go!" or something.
