Blacklist driver update?
#11

I will read through the links later, thank you.

FYI - I tried to upload a verified copy of LL 8 and three times in a row it failed (i do not remember what it listed as the failure).  So I gave up and did a fresh install of 7.8

And where do I find the "Driver manager"?  

(I love this community too, but I think I am like the annoying kid that pesters the table of grownups drinking beer... )

Please bear with us.  I'm pretty sure you won't be the only one affected by this, but you seem to be the first to report with LL so we are learning from your experience.

Driver Manager is one of the new Lite utilities in Linux Lite version 8.  It is not in Lite version 7.

If you need help downloading version 8 please raise another thread, keep this one for discussing blocking the Nvidia driver update.

FYI. The reason I got rid of the Nouveau drivers and downloaded the Nvidia drivers (by terminal) was because the Nouveau drivers made my browsers glitchy, and they would frequently freeze the system and I'd be forced to reboot.

The drivers I currently have appear to have solved that issue. That is the reason I don't want to take a chance on updating them.
