Bug Description

When trying to install additional drivers from the terminal you get the following message.

"
zebedee@mate-2950x:~$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[sudo] password for zebedee:
All the available drivers are already installed.
zebedee@mate-2950x:~$
"

When using the additional drivers section from the Control Centre - it says no additional drivers available.

ok graphics display working correctly now after I blacklisted nouveau
ran
"sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525 nvidia-dkms-525"
and rebooted

How come additional drivers section did not work and did not find anything ?

"Device-1: NVIDIA vendor: ZOTAC driver: N/A alternate: nouveau bus-ID: 42:00.0
           chip-ID: 10de:2786 class-ID: 0300 "

"so the pci ID for the 4070 RTX (10DE2786 according to the nvidia-detect output) is not present in the nvida pci id lists. Not sure why if the drivers are working.

nvidia drivers updated yesterday to 525.105, but still no new pci id information as far as I can see. same for the 530 drivers.

I'm a little perplexed by this. A part with a pci id of 2786 doesn't even show up in the nvidia linux driver supported products list that is published by nvidia. there are 4070s, but not one with that pci id. the closest is a rtx 4070 ti, with a pci id of 2782."

This additional information comes from dolphin_oracle of the MX Linux project. Where the same issue exists. Their nvidia-installer script finds nothing to install and yet the 525 drivers work just fine when installed manually.

So is it a question of
1) have Zotac mislabelled their 4070
2) Have Nvidia produced an incorrect listing for Linux to use in relation to this particular card/vendor combination.

Hope this helps
