Install & Upgrade the latest Nvidia DKMS driver for Ubuntu

Overview

Script to install and upgrade the latest NVIDIA Geforce drivers for Ubuntu.
This is for headless servers that are using a Geforce Card for example a Plex / Emby server.

The script is a basic one which will download the latest driver and install it silently.

By default the script is interactive if it detects the latest is already installed.
To skip this and fully automate the script, change interactive=true to interactive=false

Usage

• Download the script or clone the repository to your server
• Make the script executable i.e chmod +x nvidia-upgrade.sh
• Run the script as root i.e sudo ./nvidia-upgrade.sh

optional

• You can set the script to fully auto by changing interactive=true to interactive=false
• Create a CRON Job to run the script automatically

Edit CRON as Root
sudo crontab -e
