HOW TO INSTALL DRIVERS ON UBUNTU

Posted on 14-05-2021 | admin


If you followed my instructions for installing Ubuntu 18.04 you would have
installed the driver nvidia-390 from the graphics-drivers ppa. That is the
current 'long term' driver and it supports cards up-to and including Titan V.

When you want the latest HP printer drivers on Ubuntu, you’ll download and
install the latest HP Linux Imaging and Printing (HPLIP) driver package… Updated
versions of this package are regularly released with support for the latest HP
printers…

HP is one of the printer manufacturers that has its own driver package for
Linux, including Ubuntu… the driver package is maintained by the open source
community, but has HP full support..

HP Linux printers driver package is known as HP Linux Imaging and Printing
(HPLIP) and it’s updated frequently to support newer printers as they become
available. If you own a new HP printer today, it will mostly work on latest
version of Ubuntu desktop

However, if the printer is not supported by Ubuntu or the drivers are not
installed, installing HPLIP might make the drivers available. This brief
tutorial shows students and new users how to install HPLIP on Ubuntu to support
the latest HP printers.

The current version of the software package is 3.17.11

The current driver package adds support for:

 * HP Scanjet Enterprise Flow N9120 fn2 Document Scanner
 * HP Digital Sender Flow 8500 fn2 Document Capture Workstation

The previous package, 3.17.10 added support for tons of new HP printers,
including these:

 * HP OfficeJet Pro 7720 Wide Format All-in-One
 * HP DeskJet AMP All-in-One Printer
 * HP OfficeJet 5220 All-in-One Printer
 * HP OfficeJet 5230 All-in-One Printer
 * HP OfficeJet 5232 All-in-One Printer
 * HP ENVY Photo 6220 All-in-One Printer
 * HP ENVY Photo 6232 All-in-One Printer
 * HP ENVY Photo 7120 All-in-One Printer
 * HP ENVY Photo 7134 All-in-One Printer
 * HP ENVY Photo 7820 All-in-One Printer

So as you can see, there are lots of new printers on the list that the drivers
provide support for. To see the complete list of printers that are supported,
read the release notes page here.

To install the drivers on Ubuntu desktop, run the commands below to get the

cd /tmp && wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-3.17.11.run

Then run the commands below to install the driver package.


SNAP PACKAGE MANAGER

sh hplip-3.17.11.run

The installation wizard should start up and help you install the drivers. Type y
to begin the installation.

Then a to choose the automatic installation mode

Continue with installation for the version of Ubuntu. After a few minutes, the
installation should complete.

When prompted whether to install missing dependencies, type y

The installer may prompt you to remove existing HPLIP drivers to install the
newer one. Please choose to do that to continue.

After few minutes, the new drivers should be installed and ready to use… After
installing restart your desktop… then go to Dash or Activities Overview and
search for HPLIP… open and setup.

This is how to install HPLIP on Ubuntu

~Enjoy!

AMDGPU-PRO is AMD’s proprietary driver for its latest graphics cards. That means
that it mainly covers the Polaris cards, the RX 4XX series and the RX 5XX
series. It does work with older cards too, but they won’t see as much continual
improvement and development.

Like its name suggests, AMDGPU-PRO is intended for professional use. Don’t
worry. You can absolutely game with these drivers. AMD branded them for
workstation users. As a result, AMD only releases the AMDGPU-PRO drivers for
long-term support (LTS) releases and “Enterprise” distributions. For Ubuntu this
means that you can only install these drivers on the latest LTS release. In this
case, it’s 16.04.2.

Running an LTS release has some drawbacks. For starters, you won’t get the
latest releases of new software on your system. You will get security fixes and
some backports. You can get around a lot of these constraints in other ways,
like importing applications such as Firefox from other releases, but it can be a
pain to do so.

If you don’t want to run the LTS release or you already aren’t, you can always
install the open-source AMDGPU drivers. In the latest releases of Ubuntu, they
may even work out of the box, depending on your card. The open-source drivers
don’t get all the new features of the proprietary ones, though, and are lacking
in Vulkan support.


GETTING THE PACKAGES

So you’ve chosen the Pro drivers. How do you get them? Since these drivers are
AMD’s territory, they aren’t available in the Ubuntu repositories. You have to
go to AMD’s website to download them.

Open your browser and head over to the release notes on AMD’s website. Once
you’re there, scroll down to the section that starts with, “The AMDGPU-Pro
Driver can be downloaded…” The link for Ubuntu will be right below. Click it to
download the drivers in a tar archive.

Navigate into your download folder and unpack the archive.

Your version number may be different depending on when you’re reading this, so
make sure to use the right one.

Unpacking the archive will give you a folder with the same name. Change into the
folder and get ready to install.


INSTALLING AMDGPU-PRO

Once you’re in the folder, take a look around.

There are a lot of .deb packages in there. AMDGPU-PRO is odd when it comes to
proprietary drivers on Linux. In the past proprietary graphics drivers just
contained some Linux kernel modules to interact directly with the kernel and the
drivers themselves. This is still the way that NVIDIA does it.

AMD took a very different approach recently. All of AMD’s drivers are tightly
integrated with the open-source software that makes graphical displays on Linux
possible. There are a number of parts in that chain including the kernel itself,
the Xorg Server, and direct rendering managers. AMDGPU-PRO is the open-source
AMDGPU but with added bits that AMD doesn’t want to open-source yet.

Because AMD doesn’t want to open-source all of this code, they had to take over
maintaining their own versions of the open-source packages that the drivers rely
on to ensure that everything works well. That’s why there are so many packages
with the driver. When you install the AMDGPU-PRO drivers, you are replacing the
Ubuntu versions of your graphics packages with the AMD ones. They’re essentially
the same, but this gives AMD a controlled environment to ensure that the drivers
work perfectly.

Now for the simple part: AMD has included a convenient script to install
everything for you in the folder. Just run the script with sudo.

The script will run and install all of the packages that are required for your
system. If you want it to ask you questions during the install, leave the “-y”
off the end. That’s just there for convenience, and it’ll work fine most of the
time.

When the script is done, restart your computer and enjoy your new drivers!
